Seduction

Seduction

It will look you in the eye. Stare you down till you’re weak and all your strengths and powers are worthless emotions against this magnetizing, mesmerizing… seduction. How can I stand here, so close so near and yet do nothing? I was falling into love. Seduced. It lured me in, like a fish reeled in by a rod or a bird’s eye caught onto a distant shining sparkle. The soothing burst of color so exquisite all around it, reminding me of every rich piece of heaven I once felt with it. It reminded me of our affair and the unforgettable happiness that lifted me to the skies every time I touched it, of how I couldn’t bear to live moments without it… before I started calling out its name and I quickly found myself coming back to it again… And again. It seduced me. Same like its seducing me now. Its texture; so rich, keeps me awake at night.
Sweet delights in every step closer I take towards it. Deep down with the thought that it’s mine, caught my breath away. My heart skipped a beat when its odor wrapped my senses with its vanilla enter twined with cherry flavors swirled and seduced me even more… Oh my soul is crying, am dying. Please help me. If only I could take one more… last bite. Seduced by it. Taken away to oblivion; a world where only my sweet cheesecake and I exist.
In the spur of the moment, with all sanity in me escaped from my mind, as if another person took over my actions… I dismiss every oath and promise I had once taken as quickly as I neglect every effort I made in the past to lose weight. I extended my hand towards the cold metal of the fork, I hold it tight and in seconds that seemed like eternity, my fork sinks into the cheesecake, smoothly separating_ not roughly cutting_ the textured, mouth-watering creamy cheese and doesn’t stop till it reaches the buttery layer of biscuit crust underneath. It all melts blissfully where they rightfully belong; Inside my mouth. My senses are seduced. As I eat my cheesecake. I am too, seduced.
