Lanaia Lee's "Temptation"
© 2004 by Lanaia Lee
I can feel you stalking me where ever I go
It's as if you are beckoning me to do just your will
At times you can be my best friend others a deadly foe
You have the ability to control how I feel.

You always make me yearn for things I don't need to have
Making me desire things that are impossible to obtain
Me yearning for the impossible things I can never have
Knowing you are putting things in front of me from which I need to refrain.

Why do you make me make unbearable choices?
Why do you make me choose left or right?
You are always in my mind using a diabolical voice
Sometimes you make me feel like sunshine other times like the dark and gloom of the night.

You make me make decisions I shouldn't have to make
If I were to make the wrong choice you always let me know
Hoping I always make the right choice for my own sake
Making the right choice in the main steam of life, the right path I hope to go.

You have a name that has exasperated people for many years TEMPTATION
Always making me choose between right or wrong
If I choose wrong you can make life no fun
But if I choose right I can sing life's sweet song.
