FORBIDDEN LOVE
By Amanda Benson

Dreams come true, but so do nightmares.

For the man whose seed she was formed with,
Broke her maidenhead and left her in tears.

My dearest people, if it isn't too late to tell you Happy New Year, then, let me quickly add that this is your best year yet.

And when at the beginning of this year, I gave it more thought, all I came up with were the clichés of telling you how to spend your year.

I knew it was getting serious.

One where they never felt odd like I did,

A world where everything weird was long forlorn,

But I was the only one who thought this indeed.
