He gets out of the couch <br />Stretches a little bit <br />Takes a look around <br />No lights, no sounds <br /> <br />'Hey, I know you want me' <br />He pretends not to be listening <br />And then he grabs a magazine <br />Deep breath to concentrate <br /> <br />'Don't deny me, come to me' <br />This whisper disturbs him clearly <br />Reading is put aside abruptly <br />He must get over it <br /> <br />'I need you to taste me' <br />He's trembling like a leaf <br />Refusing temptation is hard <br />But surrender would tear him apart <br /> <br />'You can trust me' <br />He knew he could <br />But who said he would <br />This is a new life proof <br /> <br />'You've always opened yourself to me' <br />In fact he always did <br />It was his shelter for many years <br />But that passion he must resist <br /> <br />Suddenly tears ran down his face <br />He's feeling dizzy, a need to scream <br />He feels average in his miserable life <br />He turns his head and his piercing eyes <br /> <br />'Who do you think you are? <br />You're not my lover, <br />You're not my wife! <br />You're just one more bottle <br />Full of promises and lies <br />You won't take me anywhere <br />Because of you, now, this body dies...'<br /><br />Ananda Alves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/temptation-41/
