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
