Temptation has me by the throat,

Sin following close behind.

An unavoidable encounter.

Temptation holds me down,

Whispering into my ear,

Promises of pleasure.

Promises of happiness.

I give in.

I always do.

And it always ends the same way.

Temporary pleasure.

Lasting emptiness.

I want to break free from these binds,

But I am weak.

I always break,

But I will never give up the fight.
