temptation

it quavered enticingly before her,
all she had to do was reach out for it...
one touch was all that it would take.

oh she wanted it so much,
it hurt to be so close yet so distant,
but it would have been wrong.

and so she resisted,
and in the end,
she was proud that she didnt succumb,
but she was also very sorely disappointed not to have tasted that temptation.

this had better be worth it.
