How does anyone become ready for the agency of want,  without surrendering decades of everything that matters to an individual? Temptation is the only thing on my mind when you are near me, facing me and breathing into my lips. 

Dangle a diamond in my face as a faux promise to me, as you have done before. Leave where you live now, and if you are a believer, come to me. Crash your galleon on these rocks, where you will find the ghostly end to this story.
