Abstinence is Easy

Abstinence is easy
when beautiful eyes
on a beautiful face
on a beautiful body
aren't asking me if I'm interested too.

Abstinence is easy
when kissable lips
on a kissable face
on a kissable body
aren't begging to know me better.

Abstinence is easy
until every reason in me
is turned into a question,
and I'm left wondering
why abstinence at all.

Abstinence is easy
until my right mind
is bent to hounding hormones
excited by the sight of one who'll do.
Anyone would do.

In a city of the gathering
of those "who'll do",
and of lips and eyes of torture,
I must keep telling myself:
abstinence is easy.
Abstinence is easy.
