Talking a Good Game

There’s no doubt about it,
you almost had me believing you this time.
I stopped myself just before plunging
into that whirlpool of desire, I like to call hope.
There I was teetering on the edge, ready to dive in
before reason yanked me back; thank feck for reason!
I can’t be blamed really,
everyone wants those we believe to be close to
delivering every now and again, it would at least
validate the moth and the light bulb behaviour I’m so good at.
Although, I’m not sure if it’s desire;
or me being just plain lazy?
