They Told Me

They told me to never look to the sun. I tried but from temptation, I couldn't run. I looked and its heat was binding me. I looked and its light was blinding me. They told me to never climb up the oak. But deep within me, curiosity awoke. I climbed and its leaves were touching me. I climbed and its limbs were clutching me. They tell me to never love the devil. Yet he draws out my soul at an unspoken level. I love and his voice is teasing me. I love and his eyes are freezing me.
