Temptation!
Oh Baby
Youth and the energy to burn
And I burned some
Diminished every gift
Unable to sustain
The height it promised
Took more than it gave
-promises, promises...
I always felt the wound
It's mark tempered
Through time and by degrees
My want and recklessness
Wisdom and a way Transcendant
Roots of love and family
Moved me
To pursue a healthier, more Sustainable course.
