Temptation
No matter how alluring those eyes might be,
I keep telling myself to stay away
for they can be deadly for me,
wanting to hunt me down with those looks of a prey.
I have to refrain from that dimpled smile
and those perfectly straight white teeth,
because though it all seems like fun and games during that while,
I know the lies that lie beneath.
Though it's tough to stay away from
those bulging muscles peaking from underneath your tee,
deep inside, I know this relationship is not long-term
and soon enough you'll just wanna flee.
Resisting the urge to reach for
your somehow pefectly shaggy hair
is like an unwanted chore,
hard to bear.
And it's impossible pulling my hand away from yours
as you intertwine your long fingers in mine
But, myself, I have to force,
and act lik everything's fine.
This temptation is slowly eating at my insides,
but I continue to resist,
for I know that line that divides
this temorary love, and the love that always exists.
