Remaining Temptation

I will not give into the temptation
I won't go back to where I've been
I'll stand strong remaining where I am
there is not a thing to be gained
by falling into another trap

except possibly more heartbreak
another silent night with words unspoken
the pain's too much to deal with now
so instead I'll act like it doesn't exist
focusing on other things that need attention

I ask myself why I even care anymore
why not just leave it in the past
so later, it can just be turned to dust
I ask though I already know the answer
but it's one I don't want to face
so like the temptation,
I will leave it behind as well
maybe to return to another night
