Flirting with the Enemy

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

You are bad for me
like chocolate
or a cigarette,
but I'm addicted
even if you rot my teeth.

 

It's so much fun
to play into your game,
to tease the Devil
when he tempts me.

 

I give you
that come hither look
and you're hooked.

 

I giggle and wink
and you grab me
and kiss me hard.

 

It's a game of
cat and mouse;
I quickly forget
which is which.

 

I chase you,
you chase me,
but in the end
I'm the one that crashes.
