Temptation

Sweet talking chocolate
the curtain falls
eyes in darkness
playing the field

You played
in the grand entry
promising to never part
striking to
the violin cords

I sold my soul
to you I gave all
sold out completely
the hidden truth
behind the back

Lied in awful words
deeply hurting
scratching within 
one's mind

The soul sees light
you gave yourself 
to another man
growing black poison
begins to dwell

In bringing demons
put on the table
I was not even worth
the sacrifice
as the ocean swells

In deep 
thundering roars
temptation comes a storm
motion in waves
within emotions

Dark bottomless deep
hell with it's torment
pain burning aches
heartbroken
empty shell

I saw your demon
it bound me in chains
dropped heavy
in the deepest pit
dungeon chained

I broke free
in loves holy light
no more the fool
the smelling of roses
music to
my mind

Playing the hearts tune
golden upon the strings
lost in temptation cries
the heart of you
in me
 
Died
within the
demon a name
crying sweet pain
as it began

Whether it is for true love or for chocolate, we always regret it when we give in to our temptations! :) Excellent poetry, Liam. Thank you for suggesting it. If you like, you might enjoy reading my poem "Scarred Heart".

yes, sometimes pain can be so deep as to imagine hell and demons. Great way to play on those metaphors!
