Sirens Call

Sweet breath upon my ear, a caress as gentle as the wind
You pulled me in with seduction and kept me coming back with those eyes.

Those eyes, those eyes.
They swore innocence and hid a truth much darker than I could have believed.

Sweeter words have never been spoken, greater promises have never been laid before my feet.

A warmth seeps through me, the likes of which I have never felt before.
It's that smile to be sure, far more alluring than the sun warming my body on a hot summers day.

Love washes over me; not like water lapping on the shore but in tidal waves that leave me breathless.

Oh what I would give to have you as mine and mine alone. You're always there, not too far from me and all I must do is reach out over that ledge to touch you. But too afraid am I to reach too far, for I know the fall would be long and I would never come back.

I ache to chase after you, but I have seen others tread down similar paths. Too many times I have seen others never come back. Their trust put in pretty words and a beautiful face. How treacherous beauty and lust can be, disguising themselves as the much sought after love.

My heart breaks as I resist you, tears fall from my eyes as I try to ignore the comfort you could bring me. What I wouldn't give to have a few simple moments of the bliss I know you could give me before the darkness that follows you overtakes me.

Do I dare give in and hope that I may catch myself before I fall too far? I long to let your body envelope me in warmth and your sweet words chase away the shadows in my heart.

Do I dive head first into something I know is based in dream and illusion? Or do I hold fast to the loneliness that is forever darkening my life?

I'll take the fools path... the dreamers path this time. In my heart I know it will end my life, but I'll go knowing I gave my all to you, my one last hope.

You are my siren and you've captured me body and soul with your sirens call.
