My Own Sin

by Amanda Chafin

The darkness lay like a blanket on a sultry summer night.

Everything that is good and pure inside me trying to resist this fight.

Longing for your touch,needing to feel your kiss; My blood pulsing wildly like an addict in need of a fix.

This battle that's raging in my soul I'm sure I can not win; resisting your temptation and lust being my only sin.

Not knowing why I cant fight you; afraid of letting these feelings win.

Suddenly hearing the wolfs howling cry echoing in the wind!

Like a siren "Whispering Come to me for I will take you inn"

The call of the wild is pulling me; deeper than I have ever been!

I see the fireflies dancing lighting the pathway toward his den!

Raw Hunger raging inside me; The feasting will soon begin!

For you are the forbidden fruit Ive been longing to taste again!

Poisoning my mind and emptying my soul, Stealing a piece of me Never again to be made whole!

I pray for strength and courage; Knowing I should turn and run away!

But as you emerge from the darkness I know that I will only stay!

 I feel you slither down my spine; Im locked completely in your stare!

Your venom has infected me; This pain I can not bear.

I try one last time to fight you; Knowing you'll only bring me dis pare!

Like a serpent coils around its prey; Please Help me God Im struggling for Air!

But as your eyes gaze into mine; I succumb to your deadly bite!

"I can not fight the darkness"; I whisper to this creature of the Night!
