A response to The Magician. Sometimes falling to magic can go both ways.

I know I should stay away

All that would happen is becoming broken

Temptress or no, I still have my weakness

Regardless of what you tell me

I can’t see past my desire

I become angry when you avoid me

Then I see you and I melt

I put away my poisons

And the makings for my spells

But they call to me to use them

“One more time,” I hear in my mind

I fight it though, and it weakens me

Reality has spoken to me to fight these urges I feel

He comforts me and holds me

Why can’t I listen, Why can’t I see?

Even you have told me that pain is all that will come

You told me of your lies and illusions

A Master you call yourself

Still I wish nothing more than to be in your magic.

You offered to stay away, but what good would I do?

Just as your illusions cloud your own mind

My temptations drive my soul

Sweet Magician I have tried distractions

I have tried to move past addiction

But I am flawed and I know this

We are bound by strong emotions

We are closer than we should be

Do I love you? I don’t think so

For my heart is not my own

But I care for you and will be there for you

No matter the wounds I have to take

Magician don’t forsake me

I think I’m more fragile than I look

I’ll dance my dances close to the fire

I’ll watch your magic show

We’ll both get lost in smoke and mirrors

And believe that we are weaker than the other

You are not empty like you try to convince me

But I am not as strong as you make me out to be

I can keep my poisons locked, that I promised you

But I can’t help but hold your hand

When there is sadness in your eyes

I fight to keep from tempting you

Down a path that you can not walk

But when you are so lonely

I try to meet you at the crossroads

Understand my Wizard you impassion me inside

I know what is forbidden but I’ll dance right on the edge

Like shattered glass so deadly but beauty’s is unmatched

I’m sorry I’m so weak, some Temptress I have proven to be.

Thanks for telling me your story

Thanks for showing me your magic

Thanks for standing next to me

And supporting me when I am broken
