Staring at temptation

by ~Kayla-Kun-31592

I stare at your sinfully tempting lips
as you stare at me with your blood red eyes.
You offer me forever
and I almost say yes.

Giving away my mortality
faster than could be, should be possible
but I hesitate
as I look at your eyes
and the world weariness that can be found in them.

I want to say yes
as i look at your perfection,
power rolling off you in unreistranied waves
crushing me with the knowledge that I too
could be powerful.

But at what price, I ask myself.
I am not worried for my soul
after all whose t osay God would deny them
for being what they were ment to?
No, it is my friends and family that make me pause.
Could I leave them behind?
Are they that meaningless that I would toss them
without even thinking about them?

Could I withstand the lonliness of living
without them?
Seeing the cruel sensless acts that humans
do in the name of 'justice','good','right'
decxade upon decade, centeries even?
Could I really live in a world of darkness
forever?
Never feeling the warm sun
revive my skin
or hear the chirping of the birds in spring?

I do not know if I could leave all this
for a man I've known for days.
So I do the unthinkableafter hesitating for so long.

I turn away
from the fallen one in front of me.
The perfection made simply to tempt me
into the trap he's so easily set up.

I may return though
as we both know.
He knows for better than I
that for human nature is nearly impossible
to turn down temptation
and power has been more than one humans
