Tempting Me
you live inside
my mind
now i look to find a leash
to hold you back
put you down
nail your feet to the ground
where you can come around
and stroll out
turn me into a tiger
make me a jezabel
the temptress who want to
curl up naked beside and never leave
to walk this way to feel the high
that in the end will leave me alone only to cry
this temptation wants to escape
come to me i want you to pull my hair
and kiss my neck
take me into that place
into the zone where there is nothing
but you and me and the end of the world
could pass before our eyes
and we would watch as the fire burned holes in all the light
yet i crave you like a needle
a drug left in the back of my emotions
the animal feelings of wanting to pounce
and tear away all your walls
be there naked
complete
connected
but it seems i always want what
i can't have
too bad my mother says
too sad
i look at all the boys
but no one feels like the fire
i sense
to learn to understand
slowly i have to pull
the tiger back in her cage
before she runs away
burns the city
filling the light with the darkness
that consume me
if i choose this path
so i sit back
and stroke the tiger alone
saying behave till the right time has come
sit behave be still
i am an animal
a wild
passion filled
creature who longs
to dig my nails into your skin
be held down to the ground
till the sun comes up
never leave this taste of time
mixture of flesh
run from this
cause if i run to it
i will be jezabel
the temptress
who ends up alone
in the end
