I willed you back, my eyes forbade you come.
Another step would cause me to succumb.
Your smile tempts me to taste your bitter fruit.
Your eyes promise me love, beauty and youth.
I meet your gaze and seem to lose myself.
I'm taken over, afraid, and without help.
With words I bid you free me from this spell.
Yet my heart is not the same since first I fell;
Since first I saw your coy and charming smile,
Since first I became victim to your guile.
I know you speak no truth and yet I hear,
And so much of my heart wants to believe.
I know your smooth words no sincereness hold,
But still yout empty promises tempt me.
I will myself-cling hard to my resolve,
And yet each moment leaves me weaker still.
My heart draws near to you, my body follows.
Your luring call triumphs over my will.
I take a step and soon another follows,
Much like a convict marching to the gallows.
I reach to you, you hold me in your arms.
I am completely taken by your charms.
Your manners are refined, completely couth,
And thus embraced I'm heedless to the truth.
You reach to take the kiss, the thing you seek.
You taste my lips, admire my physique,
Lower your eyes to see much sweeter things;
You gently touch, I see the joy it brings.
You are so big and strong and I so small:
I would so quickly give you all
You held and kissed me until you were content.
Having your fill away, wordless, you went.
Without a backwards glance you walked away.
Knowing its vanity I did not bid you stay.
You were but a hunter, I your beast;
And when you caught me I became your feast.
You taste my sweets; how quickly you forget!
And leave me crying, filling with regret,
Yet not at all suprised by what you'd done.
We had but played a game: and you had won.

well done
this was a good write, the rhyme scheme was very good except for some lines that had 'close enough' feeling to them. But you kept the story flowing and you didn't let rhyme limit you! great job!

I thought that this was very high class and intellectual. Please excuse the misspellings. I can relate to this feeling very well in some cases. I liked the imagery you put into it, it was very descriptive. Don't let any guy make you cry, I know that they aren't worth it later, but we only see that years after. I thought that this was a great piece. I also think i could let you know, sometimes the good guys look like players, but don't have player hearts.
