The Temptation

I really don't know why I wrote this or who it's about,I just sat down to write & this is what came out.

Maybe I like you,

Maybe I like the idea of having you.

Or is it the way you look at me,

That makes me think you're true blue?

 

Maybe I want your arms around me,

Or maybe I've been deceived,

By the way you talk of love.

 

How do I know what this all means.

When you put your hand on my knee,

& when you ask me to go home with you?

 

Why do you do this,

When you know it's tempting?

As you look at me & sing,

To me of all people.

 

Do you even know

how it makes me feel,

When you tell me your good intentions are real?

Or when you lean in real close to my lips,

& say you have to go,

You're late,

For a date?

 

What do you want me to do?

Do I kiss you?

Even though you're leaving to see her?

 

What do you want from me?

Do you want my body?

Do you want my heart?

Do you want it all?

Or just a small part?

 

Is this just a game we're playing?

Am I thinking of you too much?

Do you feel the spark I feel,

Every time we touch?

OUCH ! This one stung a bit. This poem is written with a lot of pain. Love hurts !! I think that this came from a past experience or maybe im wrong ? who knows ... anyways, the poem is well written none the less. There was enough emotion here that left me believing that this is written about someone specific ? Maybe? Well done .

Holy S***!

Man, my eyes were wide open when i read this. It's so tragic that some relationships are like this. It isnt right for a guy to do that at all. I dont get it, man :( I mean, here he has such a beautiful woman by his side who loves him so much..She pours her heart out to him, she makes love to him, and is trying to make things work. All of this she does for him. And he repays her by going out and doing other women?? Omg, that's just not right to me at all. It's either u love one girl, and be with her all the time and make sure she's wanted and happy, or ya love nobody at all. A faithful girl doesnt want, or shouldnt have a guy who sleeps around or 'plays around.' A girl doesnt need that crap in her life, and she needs to move on for the best. This really touched me. I feel so sorry for the woman here. Wonderful poem :)

Well done, once again, chika! I think your writing pattern is neat. It's the first time a pattern like that didn't bother my OCD. LoL.

Ah - these universal feelings we all share - the vulnerability during that time of uncertainty. I have come to embrace those moments for they teach us a lot about who we are.

How do I know what this all means.

When you put your hand on my knee,

& when you ask me to go home with you?

I like how it was "on topic" the whole time.
A focused write.
