Temptation

Skin that’s so soft 
It can fill a hollow heart
A vital urge that keeps me on edge
It as if I’m falling for 
Your every quality
And it’s gone take all of me
To fight it 
This feeling has me high
My adrenalin is kicking in
It’s in reach but I refuse
Won’t let this get the best of me
While dealing with my discrepancy
Won’t let it take control on me
Because only I have that power
But the power she has 
Puts up a fight a challenge competition
Puts me in a certain position
That makes me myself
Want to go against my word
There’s a glow and when shown
Makes me take my vow 
And disown 
It robs my soul and steals my breath
Its turns me upside down 
And with all this 
I still try my best to resist 
But your essence spreads
Across your lips 
Which I seem so eager to kiss
The vibe I get it lures me in 
You don’t even say much
Unaware that you’re enticing 
When on the phone 
We speak as friends so was said
But in person it’s like it’s urgent
Or a must that we be close
But it’s a fight with myself and within myself
A fight with you
And you ask what you are fighting 
I reply Temptation
