Temptation

Never thought I would say this 

But the day has come to yield 

To temptation, to the sinful present,

And to make tantalizing memories...

I can smell it on your breath,

By the lies you whisper in my ear,

In the unmasked glory in your eyes,

But still I weaken to temptation

Smoke arises from the glowing tip

As you put the cigarette to your lip

And you smile at me

For I have given in to temptation

The pain is sharp but you hold me 

Chained with your eyes, 

Watching my life ebb away

Rejoicing in my wretchedness 

But it now longer matters

My misery is put to rest

As death kisses me with 

The ultimate temptation
