Temptation II

What did you say, brother?

What was that again?

Scream a little louder,

It might stop the pain.

Yes, I know that you're bleeding,

Yes, I know that it hurts,

To be kicked where it hurts,

To feel like dirt.

You know she was perfect,

You just had to assume,

That beauty demurest,

Beneath such allure could bloom,

A pot full of smoke,

A glass that shot,

Now the mirror's broken,

I admit she was hot.

Her dazzling blue eyes,

Reeked of wicked charm,

Drawn were you, yes now you despise.

Too little too late late, innocence may harm.

The sun kisses new day, yet you remember how she spoke,

Such tender lies,

Red dress, smooth, silver shade,

Her flowing black hair, her very guise.

She danced to the wind,

Both moved to the rhythm,

Now the pills cannot heal,

The scar-deep schism.

Her soft touch that could break, that could find,

A fool like you, with passion afire,

Now the clock can't unwind,

Those strands of desire.

Music so distant,

Riding the joy,

Intoxicating voice that choked the moment,

Friend, you know girls are coy.

Draining the cup of its amorous flame,

The night blew over,

How you wish she never came,

To tear your life, to make you feel lower.

So cruel, so cold.

Now you regret,

That you were so bold.

But come on, don't fret.

Those silent whispers,

Those empty drops she shed,

A night to remember,

And then she fled.

Now your life's so empty,

How could this follow?

Your world's so unreal,

You feel crippled, aged...hollow.

How could this happen to a fool so chaste?

Now you're broken, extinguished, so hopeless and awake.

How could sweet, untrammeled melody,

Leave you smitten and numb, suffering from STD's?
