Temptation

"Temptation"

She hung wet on his lips like she was right there

Her kiss was thick and velvet

And hours ago

Forbidden made it all the more sweeter

What were they thinking

Did they dare tempt yesterday’s promise for today’s fantasies

The question was fleeting

Because the trespass was already accomplished

They already found hell in one another’s touch

And they did not give a damn

It was perfection

Full of regret and want in the same instant

They knew it would not be the first

And they dreaded the day it was to be their last

Yet they still danced hungrily

Wanting the next chance to sin again
