Only for Myself

The Ever Changing Bogart

Sometimes
I think you must be
my curse,
my penance,
a test
of my self-control.

You morph into different faces
of different people.

But today it's you
you who tempt me
and you don't even know.
And I will live with that.

God said
not to eat the
forbidden fruit.

But I always liked
forbidden,
and I was never
religious.
