Thus far. And further still...

A sideways glance that betrays
A hand you were dealt 
A quick, careless sweep
But no, we needed nothing spelt


Break through the barriers
Put up with care
Sure, I saw you coming
And yes, I did hope you'd dare


Ah desire, you burn eternal
Sear an image behind my eyes
I could have turned and walked away
But I glory in the grip of your vice


We strike a match
Inviting, deadly, we watch it smoke and blaze
Put out with a whisper of breath
But no, we pretend to believe in each other's haze


I'll take the fall when the time comes
In return for one look that lingers
Behold the demons that I freed
To watch lust drip through our fingers


Echoes of warnings, 
"thus far and no further"
Poor ignorant fools, shall we finally let you in?


We blinked and stared and asked again
To draw you in and set you up
So that you would watch and know at last
That we indeed, had come to sin!
