A Moment of Weakness
by John E. DeJesus

As much as I try
I cannot escape you
Your eyes haunt me
In all their splendor
A Moment of Weakness

I try to stay away
But those lips keep calling me back
And the curves of your body
Which my hands still trace
A Moment of Weakness
 
I can’t want you anymore
Though your taste still lingers on my tongue
And your smile is forever
Etched in my mind
A Moment of Weakness

I want to call you, see you
To write you this poem
But the same passion that pulls us together
Tears us apart and I can’t give in to
A Moment of Weakness
