Desire

Desire… the path to hell paved with the red hot internal fire
Wanting, yearning, needing, lusting, is like walking tight wire
One wrong move and you come crashing down
Fantasy makes you believe you won’t drown
Just have fun and enjoy, no consequences today
Let yourself be free and come play
Until you get caught then your sinking real deep
All because you lost your vigilance, you sheep
You let temptation in and it stole your soul
Your mind allowed you to lose sight of the goal
To be a good example to those that you love
Make them feel as though there is nothing above
Commitment undone in just one moment of fancy
To rid yourself of the emotions that make you feel antsy
A coping mechanism that helps you avoid
The hard feelings that you thought you had safely deployed
Buried them deep so they don’t stand a chance
Of coming up for air, they’ll never advance
But they’re cunning and sneaky, they don’t go away
They just lurk in the background ‘til they have their day
So guard your heart, don’t let fantasy win
Don’t miss out on what’s important… and get lost in sin.
