Temptation

Today, I feel your power

Luring me with the strength of the devil

Back to memories of fun times,

Carefree days and party nights

Sparkled knowing you would be there

I could rely on you to give me

Strength where I felt weak

Bolster the lost soul hiding deep inside

To one of confidence and new height.

Fear blows over me like a cold wind

I shiver and shake as I reach to call

No answer, no answer, no answer

Cell phones, home phones, pagers

No help today

I run to a place I pray she will be

My rock, my shoulder, my strength

Not many questions, only quiet comfort

The tears come,

Your grip loosens its hold,

You fade away, laughing,

Knowing you can return

Any time you wish
