“Love With Lust?!?”
What’s your next move? How can I be prepared?
Your promises don’t comfort me; they actually keep me scared.
I have bruises much deeper than what’s visible the common eye.
In collaboration with my damaged body, yet I stay, and constantly wonder why?
You’re not without your share of war wounds provided by my occasional temper fit.
Yes I’ve participated in redesigning your once beautiful frame; and open mind I am ashamed to admit.
Family and friends suggest we get professional help, or better yet take a break.
But, every time we attempt to address those concerns it only magnifies our heart aches!
We mask our problems in public with careful choice of clothing, accessories and displays of affection.
But when we’re at home our actions contradict our public image by what we do at our own election.
Love used to be our motivation at one point we were inseparable mind body and soul.
You used to own a warm spot in my heart that is now vacant and cold.
I bet we’d eventually make progress if I restricted your access to me.
I never thought that my “IMPRESSION” of passion would contribute to me sleeping with the enemy!
How did we end up this way? After months of knowing you; currently you’re a stranger I don’t trust!
Apparently evidence of loyalty and contentment is no longer a guaranty to a life without conflicts, when you confuse love with lust.
