Temptation by David Wilding (25th October 2009, just after midnight)
I know by now,
Such places are wrong - they make no sense,
Looking at what you can't have,
And then thinking too much,
Of what you'd like to do,
To them.
They see me?
I look, they look away,
It's too red, too bright,
And they speak a foreign tongue.
I can,
But I can't.
Temptation,
Such circles are a curse,
And places are worse,
For me.
I look,
I see what I want,
I won't.
