Bittersweet

Temptation is hypocritical It paints a picture that imitates a screensaver Draws you towards its perfect lies Caught in the battle of right and wrong How good it felt, when I held your hand temptation All your promises I kept I wrestle within myself thinking of you You are my bittersweet moment I hate this yearning I have for you Yet, I think I love you I know your heart doesn’t skip for me There are many others Stupid me You were transparent yet I went straight for the wall I misjudged my judgment Why do I still think of you? Temptation is hypocritical When the high has gone, all that’s left is a thud Pain, my fault Anger, my fault Stupidity, my fault Temptation you are sweet, the forbidden fruit One bite is all it takes, all it took Sucked in the web of deceit Regret rears its head There is no turning back I was a passer-by, minding my own business Then I tripped, looked up and there you were I was sucked in, am sucked in All I want is you Like me unsuspecting ones will be prisoned A prisoner of lust, want and wonder When will I hold your hand again? Many are holding it, will wait for my chance When? I wonder I know I should erase you, now rather than later Am scared of goodbyes I still want to see you, one last time I know you are not mine, holding you again is a longing, memory Should I cherish it and be a prisoner still? My heart nods I am not strong enough Please keep the cuffs on I am not ready to escape All I want is you
