A Dangerous Feeling

That feeling

Pay close attention

It comes soft and subtle

Like footsteps that trample softly

almost unheard

Recognize it?

Or is it too foreign to you?

It's such a wondrous feeling they say!

But don't be tempted by its bliss

It's a dangerous feeling that consumes you

A slow poison from Cupid's arrow

Sweet and intoxicating

And when you do recognize it, it's already too late

It welcomes you with a comforting warmth

Eyes quite convincing,

it beckons you with an embrace you can't resist falling into

Don't be fooled by it's subtle presence

But if you can't resist, proceed with caution

The feeling is not only dangerous but deceiving

As under its cloak might be concealed heartbreak

Before you know it, the feeling has already grown stronger

the poison from Cupid's arrow more potent

If you failed to resist it, to step away with caution,

It now comes with kisses

It's poison more sweeter and now far more addicting

as it has not only poisoned you but now another

It's the feeling of falling in love

And the instant you feel it, you'll never be the same

Follow these precautions

And maybe,

just maybe

it won't be too late
