FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION

@merci

It was meant to be forbidden,
Yet, to me, the forbidden became my favorite.
It tasted different from the usual,
And it never ceased to amaze me.

I knew it was a sin,
But its sweetness clouded my judgment.
So, I let go of the Holy Ghost
And followed the shadow of an ugly ghost.

I knew it was a mistake,
One that could cost me dearly.
Yet, I couldn’t slow down
What was done was done.

The pain was heavy,
But the adrenaline rushing through me was worth it.
I swept the pain away,
And I savored that fleeting feeling.

For the forbidden was truly delicious,
And the thought of being unique amplified my desire.
I would give anything to stand out,
And this felt like the only way out.

    I know the feeling, the temporary ecstasy of release, then the fading afterglow, with a desire for more. Your composition speaks to me. Adam and Eve losing innocence. I remember losing mine. You did well in expressing what others might feel.

    As I'm sure you're already aware, the adrenaline sweeps the pain away. For a while. Then it comes back again. Repeat endlessly. Until its message is understood?!
