Lust Or Love
His kiss seemed to burn through my heart
Sending chills down my spine,
I was taken apart
With him
I told my dear Granny that I loved him
She smiled and said it’s not love
It’s not what you feel
It is lust
Lust is a killer of friendship and laughter
It brings about pleasure that
Will never be lasting
Only momentary
It binds the heart to its wicked pleasure
Forever disgracing the true treasure
Of a love that will always be there
Fulfilling the heart’s prayer
It forces the spirit to be shaken deeply
Beyond what you might imagine
It leaves painful impressions
That plead bad directions
It is this lust that kills the truth of love
A love that flows like a river
Forever a willing giver
To its true love
Granny was always right in the end
The love I thought I’d found
Was merely a yearning
A desire within
I didn’t make it very long with this man
And it was a lesson to understand
That love alive on the inside
Is far from a simple burning
Passion never trumps real love
