The Bittersweet Emotion...

The heart hears the whispers. It listens to the unceasing persuasions; the alluring promises; day after day. It tries to resist for it knows the bitterness that comes from falling prey to the whispers, the sour aftertaste that follows, it remembers this all too well from its past. But it also knows its own powerlessness in the face of such temptation. Its resolve weakens day by day and soon it is convinced. Then it begins to burn. The fever of the hearts desire bursts forth like an inferno and all is overwhelmed. Something has awoken that is beyond control; beyond that of the whisperer and that of the heart. Yet the two caused the affliction knowingly. For although the emotion is bitter, it is also the sweetest they have ever known.
