Temptation

I've been told my whole life
Temptation shouldn't be an issue
But it's the one that holds me down
Ties me up
And tortures me
To death

It creeps upon me and I give in
Everytime
I hold back begging
Pleading for strength
Willpower, something

But it doesn't help
I give in once again
Been taken over
Overthrown by
Temptation

No one can explain my
Victimization
Or why I can't hold back
When it says
Jump, leap, prance, cheat, lie, hurt

I'm suppose to fall in love
But I can't
Because I will hurt them all so bad
I will be tempted
It is my fate

It's not worth it to fight
I know I'll lose
So why try?
Am I stricken to be alone forever?

When will I get my oppurtunity
To erase my slate?
To live like a normal person
And not peer over my shoulder
Or begging to keep this one
A little longer than the last

But I'll always know eventually
Everything will be stripped away
From me once more
He'll go away forever
All because of my
Temptation
