The Heart's Hesitation
Love and lust can sometimes seem the same,
fueling the heart's hesitation.
And eating away at trust's foundation:
tears slowly extinguish passion's flame.
An emotional bumper car ride,
life has you stymied and befuddled.
And reality leaves you muddled,
for fate doesn't seem to be on your side.
With each light lit, a shadow is cast
that tests the resiliency of hope.
And you're left on a slippery slope,
unsure if feelings of love will last.
A poor substitute touted by youth,
lust clings to the pleasures of the flesh.
And tends to go stale: while love stays fresh,
that's the heart's inescapable truth.
