Tempt me with kisses,
Because the feel of
Them on my lips
Stirs my blood.
For too long,
I’ve been afraid
Of what we could be,
Scarred by the demons
Of my past.
But here you are,
Open with your
Darkness,
Honest with your sins
And I have no choice
But to give in.
You have changed me,
Intrinsically.
The way I think
The way I see the moon.
You have taken the horror
In me and turned it into
Roses and honey.
So I ask,
Are we a beautiful mistake?
Or has love struck
And put us on a path
To something enchanting?
Something unpredictable?
