"Temptation"

In the distance
The darkness calls out to me

I resist

In the distance
A figure stands silent in the darkness
Hesitating

I resist

In the distance
I see myself in the darkness
Lingering

I resist

In the distance
The figure beckons to me in the darkness

I cannot resist

In the distance
A light shines in the Darkness

I resist

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

A good description of the human condition, I'd say, LoneWolf!
