They Told Me

They told me to never look to the sun.
I tried but from temptation, I couldn't run.
I looked and its heat was binding me.
I looked and its light was blinding me.

They told me to never climb up the oak.
But deep within me, curiosity awoke.
I climbed and its leaves were touching me.
I climbed and its limbs were clutching me.

They tell me to never love the devil.
Yet he draws out my soul at an unspoken level.
I love and his voice is teasing me.
I love and his eyes are freezing me.
