Temptation
What is it about the forbidden
That makes me want
To lose control?
There’s just something
Irresistible
About fantasy
Giving way
To reality
I’m drawn to what
I can’t have
Yet
It usually ends up
Becoming mine
(for a bit)
Give me almost
Anything taboo
Then tell me
I can’t have it
Challenge accepted
You’d think
I’d learn my lesson
Walking so close to the edge
Almost falling in
But not quite
Good thing
I’m a contortionist
What was that?
Wrong word?
But it’s true
I am
Told you
I’m a slow learner
