The Game

By daria_lost

Quietly you tempt me
Drawing me slowly in
Skillfully giving me
Just enough so I want more
Steadily you draw me
Closer to the flame
Feeling the fire warm me
Bidding me come near

Expertly you bait me
With your sweet tongue
Speaking to me softly
With sparse words
The meaning is lucid
So clear you make me know
To come closer to the fire

Suddenly I realize
The things I thought I knew
Were simply illusions
I allowed myself to see
While all the while
Temptation calls me
Closer to the flame

The fire burns brightly
Desire in human form
Guiding me to pleasure
Looming in the fog
You draw me in
With wise words
Slowly showing me
The rules of the game
