Fading Virtue

Mon, 05/05/2014 - 21:21 -- jlyons
What damage will I endure before I escape?
How far is too far…
…how late is too late?
Stifled warnings of danger and promises of pain,
Temptation sings sweetly and calls out my name.
The heat of fire yields comfort at first,
But sooner or later I’m bound to get burned.
