Tempting wilderness

I had asked you to think hard, when you said you're interested

warned you that the road you're taking is less traveled

you got intrigued, maybe- drawn and excited

to explore the unknown, flirt around the world of the hated

Halfway through my path, you're wishing I'm sure

that you knew the way ahead, before the rest of the tour

blame it on stars, gender or hormones

attitude, bruises, scars or emptiness

I can kill you, with love or hatred

etch within you, moments sacred

be your best friend, or worst enemy

make you a spectator, engulfed in envy

Give you all that I have for myself

take everything away, leaving you enmeshed

The gentle breeze can give way to scary cyclone

It can leave you distressed, sad and all alone

Call it coldness, rudeness or pride

It's time for you to move ahead bold, or hide...

that side road is beckoning you temptingly

I can see it's fragrance embracing you lasciviously

Just that again, it's the poisonous gender

of our common star-lit road that you're gonna enter

the road is sure to make your feet get hardened

strong enough to move on, even while numb or saddened...
