From Lust To Dust

Life goes on and on My life without me in it Something seems so terribly wrong My face blank, as I quietly sit Time stands still, as the days grow old... The sun of this morning I can’t get to heed The shining rays, burning my eyes The dogs running and playing In the dewy grass What I need is another glass... Oh love your sting, kills me slow Like cigar smoke, entering my soul The pen she lies, on paper divulged My soul being crushed, by beautiful lust... I must give up, what has became a need A desire that burns deep in me This unholy union is haunting me Entering my dreams, waking in screams... The excitement of your touch To feel that first taste of lust Reliving my youth, is bringing me to dust Life lived being half done I’ll leave the living , to the young... I understand now, what most know does not exist The only way to recapture our youth Is to try to live it, again and again Time to give you up my friend, my lust will be my end... Oh I envy the young lovers outside Their warmth and tenderness in flight But love will be the end of them Little do they know love bites... All the love turns away from you When the lonely walls are your friends Dreaming of lust, only desire sets in Love it when you have it, hate it when its gone... I must quit you, and quit you now Your youth enchanted me But will be my ultimate end Trying myself to be young again, so desperately... To possess another, one you cannot have An unattainable relationship With rules neither happy or sad You were the icing on my cake A cake of discontent, filled with holes Growing old, stale cake with mold... andreatravis copyright 11-01-12
