The Perfect Sin

This is the perfect sin
Its so intoxicatingly delicious 
So delightfully wrong .
It seems this sin has taken hold 
sank its teeth in 
refusing to let go 
On the surface I play societies game and denounce the sin 
Beneath, 
I reval in the idea of the dangerousness of the act.
I long to test the boundaries between right and wrong.
I skip along on the fine line of light and darkness 
crossing dangerously over the edge,
then back again.
But what happens when I go to far 
to come back ?
Will this perfect sin 
overtake me 
mind body and soul ?
How "perfect" would that be then?
