Forbidden Fruit

By Jamari Jordan

I seem to want what I can’t have
Need what will only kill me
Crave what is bad for me
Love what will never feel the same

I may not be your original, but can I be next?
He may be your man, but make him your ex
Funny, I saw y’all selfie on IG today
But yesterday, you yourself told how bad he is to you

Told me how he strayed and how you wish you could to
Said he doesn’t hear you, while I listened
Doesn’t value your opinion, while I asked for it
Can’t comprehend your needs, while I massaged them all

The things he does to you, you do to me
You let him use you the same way I let you
Wanna walk away, but no girl is as smart, funny, or cute
Look, but don’t touch. My tempting forbidden fruit

I seem to want what I can’t have
Need what will only kill me
Crave what is bad for me
Love what will never feel the same.
