4Whispered temptations from the doorway,
Pressing to give in, join you and your legions.
Tempting me with promises of numbness and revenge.
A step closer taken, listening attentively,
Reaching out a hand, you offer it gladly.
Telling gleefully it's the only way it'll finish.
About to take your hand, a pause,
Deceit is in you eyes, it's been seen.
Leap backwards like a shot,
Sensing the real you beneath the façade.
Crying 'liar', slamming the door on it's rusted hinges.
Alone in the dark again.
Doorway shut again.
Edging away again.
Never open it again.
