The Dark side

“Come over to the dark side” he said
His dark eyes flashed directly into mine
I feigned disinterest in him
Even though I was drawn to him
Like a moth to a flame
To him, this was just a game
“Just take a ride with me” he said

He flashed a wicked grin
I knew it was made out of sin
He climbed onto his motorbike
Leaving skidmarks all over the street
And all over my heart
I noticed people stopped to stare
But he didn’t give a care

His scar under his eye gleamed in the sun
Making him look more dangerous
His dark hair was slicked back
Shone in the sun
He towered over me
like a shadow hanging over me
I couldn’t think of anything to say
Except come what may
I swallowed thickly
Hoping he didn’t notice me looking sickly
I’m losing my grip
Just hanging on by the fingertips
What did I know about this stranger?
His motorbike spelled out danger
But his eyes spelled out excitement
He came closer to me
But I backed away slowly
Common sense prevailed
Over just a brief fling
With an exciting person who acted like a king
But who could break my heart someday
Knowing that I can’t make the same mistake again

While he rode off towards the sunset
His musky smell lingered in the air
A smell of passion and regret
His presence tainted the sky
My heart started to cry
I stared at the sun
With his absence it faded away
I wondered whether it would be the last time I saw him again
And hoped that it would not be
