This is a poem written quite some time ago pertaining to the battle between our souls and our bodies:
The soul is subject to the flesh
difficult to escape its influence

The price we pay
for a few bites of forbidden fruit

Regret is now a part of our lives
guilt a mainstay

Over things better left unsaid
actions better left undone

Sin continually dangling that tempting piece
of delicious fruit

Oh yes, it tastes good, feels good
ahhhh...but the price, the pain

It is not worth it
but our flesh remains unconvinced

Striving for that bit of pleasure
that bit of death

A battleground upon which God and satan continue to struggle
our free will, the tiebreaker
