EDITED 

Romancing the Leviathan

You see the young man watching you
From where he is standing across the hall
He looks as if he would like to approach you
But then for some reason stalls

His eyes meet yours for the briefest moment
And right before he turns and leaves
He gives you the most heart-warming smile
That you have ever received

He begins to to spend more time with you
And you draw closer to him every day
So when some 3 months later he asks you out
A joyful "Yes" is what you say

Both of you know that boundaries are needed
And so you establish some that week
As you vow to honor your purity
In all chasteness you promise to keep

You grow together over the passing months
During this time you receive your first kiss
The happiest times of your life are now
As you float upon this heavenly bliss

Seasons pass and you grow in each other
And in the Lord you continue to obey
But one thing noticed, that seems to remain
Is that you're getting more intimate each day

This growing unrest is then discussed
You tell yourselves you'll slow it down
And so that sustains you, for a little while
But you are drawn back to this life you've found

After an especially breathless night together
This compromise does not comprehend
That you must put a stop on this discovery of new pleasure
That you love, but cannot end

You break it off and spend teary nights weeping
All alone your souls seems to be dying
You need his presence here with you
To calm your heart from crying

And so 2 weeks later you come back to him
But to God your spirit's numb
For as many times as you prayed to destroyed this desire
The flesh's will was always done

But the memories of passions do not simply go away
As your yearning body whispers for more
And so it doesn't take long, to go back on your word
And now you are far worse than before

You know the result of romancing the leviathan
If this situation does not end
You are losing more and more of your control
And have become more lovers than you are friends

What will it take for this cycle to break
Perhaps your virginity will be the cost
But even then it will be far too late
For you can't take back what you've lost

And so you establish some that week
As you vow to honor your purity
In all chasteness you promise to keep

You grow together over the passing months
During this time you receive your first kiss
The happiest times of your life are now

Seasons pass and you grow in each other
And in the Lord you continue to obey
But one thing noticed, that seems to remain
Is that you're getting more intimate each day

This growing unrest is then discussed
You tell yourselves you'll slow it down
And so that sustains you, for a little while
But you are drawn back to this life you've found

And so one night when you are both oblivious
Lost in yourselves and this sexual high
His tongue slides into your ready mouth
And his hand starts to move up your thigh

The warning bells of the past are deadened
And yet you can still hear their faint ring
You untangle yourself from his enclosing arms
But that you�ve stopped doesn�t mean a thing

And so what little resolve you have for your purity
That you've compromised, but do not comprehend
Leads you to put a stop to this pleasure you've discovered
That you love, but cannot end

You break it off and spend teary nights weeping
All alone your souls seems to be dying
You need his presence here with you
To calm your heart from crying

And so 2 weeks later you come back to him
But to God your spirit's numb
For as many times as you prayed to destroyed this desire
The flesh's will was always done

But the memories of passions do not simply go away
As your yearning body whispers for more
And then one night his hand brushes your breasts
And all resolve is flung out the door

Miraculously, though you are burnt black
You still managed to avoid the fire
Though you are addicted to this lustful drug
That continues to take you higher

You know the result of romancing the leviathan
If this situation does not end
You are losing more and more of your control
And have become more lovers than you are friends

What will it take for this cycle to break
Perhaps your virginity will be the cost
But even then it will be far too late
For you can't take back what you've lost
