Enticement

Come play with me, are you following?
Brace yourself now, it's about to begin.
A drawing power that can't be explained,
a hope, an allure then change to deranged.
Snaring the weak, encourage the brave,
becoming the master but never the slave.
A promise that falls from the plumpest of lips
and speaks them as kisses upon curvy hips.
A sweetner to what is a bitter conclusion,
the last chapter closed with a sense of confusion.
Cajoling and teasing, the inveiglement,
a constant reminder that you will repent
and repel the seduction so horribly wrong,
yet so right, 
forget that your heart's not where it should belong.
Taking the bait, the wrong turn in the road,
shoulders lay fractured from burdening loads.
Arousing a scene with a love movie theme,
where nothing is real,or even a dream.
Concocted and conjoured, manipulated
to thinking that love can't become a habit.
Addictive, a poison that freezes your veins,
and shatters when 'loved' turns into 'betrayed'.
