Temptation



So here I stand between The two Entities
that are grasping for me
Both pleading for me to join them, the thing is one's evil other good
Filled with temptation, frustration, anticipating my decision making
Half horn,half halo
Tell me what side are you going for? Choose..
"You're the decision maker,we can't force you?"
They both say
Do I take my Earthly desire knowing one day I'll be burned by fire?
Heaven or Hell
Where to my soul dwell
