This thing we have here
started innocent enough;
it felt good, almost like love.
What began as minor flirtation
led to something more,
something I wasn’t prepared for.
I gave myself to you
and got nothing in return
but a lesson to be learned.
I had a taste of temptation
but I let it take control
and that was always your goal.
Nevertheless, I won’t let you kill me,
you can’t enslave me,
because another died to save me.
