attraction

 
I'm distant in the know
feeling a slow fade
I hurt with the knowledge
I am less than before

my dawning epiphany
lilting loneliness supersedes
and I succumb to temptation
a moment stolen with a kiss
I wasn't thinking

guilt washes over me in waves
I tell myself never again
I won't fall
darkness has an undertow
I got pulled out

masculine wiles good looking in their presentation
attraction is fickle
he saw me as beautiful it was surprising

I caught myself before I fell too deep
under the spell of delusion
where I would be happier elsewhere
