into temptation

into temptation

the eyes lie in secret lusts lingering longer than is necessary
behind a placid face raw desire waiting planning evil escape
hell is a point of hearts mingling lying underneath the scary
hoarding souls more to acquire overflowing off a silver plate
being led by time into temptation as need is growing greater
older and weaker losing confidence casting a net ever wider
try to recreate youthful sensation with no consequence later
misunderstanding reasoned reliance care without a provider
in dream possession can exist in life it is much more delicate
drifting from want wish and hope all future must be ignored
whether a romantic or a realist an unaware greed will inflate
driven by the medicine of dope as fantasy becomes implored
is it time to follow or to be led before the closing of the mind
after all that were chased have fled and the last sight is blind
