Fatal Attraction

Fatal Attraction

A Poem by David Burke
"

a pain I'm sure we all have felt

"

Was it her eyes that stole my heart that day?

Or the way that she would say my name?

That made my heartbeat skip for days

That changed me in so many ways

That got me on my knees to pray

Asking god to let her stay

No, I'm pretty sure it was her smile

That made me want to stay awhile 

That made my heart and lungs go wild

So cunning like a crocodile

Or maybe it was her velvet skin

That stroked my face from cheek to chin

That held my hand through think and thin

That filled my blood with lustful sin

Or maybe it was when I heard her voice

Maybe that's when I made my choice

It was the songs of heaven that her voice sung

That took the words that graced my tongue

But the feelings we shared were ever so young

I guess that's why it fell apart

And almost killed my broken heart

She said she didn't know how she feels

Like what we had might not be real

So I guess her beauty was just a distraction

That lured me to this fatal attraction

Favorite part is when you compared her to the cunning of a crocodile, then proceeded to mention her skin like velvet. I see what you did there friend ;) nice contrast
