Numbers Game

The temptation blinds me

Even more than rage.

It hits me like a light beam,

Charms me like a sage.

I wish we never met,

You wish I wouldn’t lie.

Lust is a numbers game,

But so are goodbyes.

Are my words enchanting?

Do they just sicken you?

Your eyes won’t answer

So I cut your parachute.

As the trees crush you,

Whisper my name.

I’ll die before I trust you.

I know you feel the same.
