Temptation

It is a girl wanting a boy she can't have
It is a mother wanting to sleep while her child whines,
It is wanting to give up when you think it's the end,
It is desire that propels the first signs.

We try at first, it goes to waste,
Slowly the inconspicous feeling grows,
It claws away, edging past our conscience,
And becomes one of our deadliest foes.

Distracting and attention seeking,
We don't realize when it overpowers us,
Thoughts cease to prelude actions,
As we experience feelings of mad lust.

Desire then escalates into need,
Until the time comes when we can't hold back,
Giving in is the only option left,
That is when will power begins to slack.

Finally we are satisfied, but,
Easily ignored are the complications,
And the consequences that arise
With giving in to our temptation.
