Dark Temptation

By Damon Tarloth


Her evil smile and piercing gaze,
a tragic dark mistake.
An instant pull that we both felt,
my heart I won't forsake...

An instant flash of what I risk,
forever might be lost.
But never going through with this,
could be a greater cost...

I should have turned and walked away,
avoiding loss and pain.
As you can see it's far too late,
the shattered shards remain...

    I know this pull all too well...something you just can't walk away from. The rhyme seems so pure and natural...an impeccable flow.
