It was a lonely dead end night. 

Like so many more. 

Another old movie, black and white. 

One I'd seen before. 


Then upon my psyche's door

Comes a gentle rap. 

Like kitten paws upon the floor,

A subtle tap tap tap.


Oh I have heard this knock before. 

Though I wish I'd not. 

I tell myself 'just ignore'.

But that is not my lot. 


Curiosity wants a peek. 

A peek. Nothing more. 

'Oh please don't!' Logic shrieks. 

Soon they are at war. 


But Logic doesn't stand a chance. 

Temptation's at the door. 

She'll pull my strings and make me dance. 

And I'll become her whore.
