Temptress
I see a woman come up to me
She’s beautiful
Her dress is like silk
Her hair flows like the ocean
Her face is covered, though
She whispers forbidden secrets in my ear
Her voice is smooth and tempting
Part of me wants her to stop
I want her to go away and never come back
Her voice starts to fade away
I look up and she’s gone,
But I can still feel her staring at me
Everywhere I go,
She watches over me
Then at the worst of times,
She’s next to me again
Her enticing voice is back in my head
She stays even longer this time
I know what she’s saying isn't right,
I know I shouldn't trust her,
But I can't help it
It seems her only reason for existence
Is to torment me
She's with me so much now,
I feel like I can't keep trying to ignore her
I start to give in
Everything she says to me has become so alluring
She's with me every day now
Sometimes, I can ignore her
Her words only divert my attention for a few minutes each day
But soon it's all I can think about
I can't take it anymore
I look up and see her face for the first time
I see her eyes,
They're deep and enchanting,
But they're also melancholy
Her true intentions that have stayed hidden in them
Are bare for me to see now
I find myself with no place to go
She's trapped me and I can't do anything about it
She reaches her hand out to me
It's feminine and smooth,
But there's something unsettling about it
She tells me she’ll help me out of there,
That her reign of terror will end if I take her hand
This is not like the secrets she's told me before,
This one would change me
I want to be free,
But I can't take her hand
It's all too much
The walls feel like they're closing in
Everything she's said to me starts rushing through my head
I've kept her waiting for so long,
I start to truly see through her
Her monotone style starts to become more gravely than beautiful
Her eyes are more suffocating than enchanting
Everything about her becomes more undesirable
The longer I sit and wait,
The more she starts to move away from me
The walls start to spread out,
I finally feel like I can breathe again
After some time, she's finally away from me
I feel relieved that she's not patrolling over me anymore,
But there's still a part of me that feels her
Sometimes, I can hear her laughing
She still taunts me,
And she’ll never truly leave my side
