An Integral Part

You suppress sexual feelings
you've hidden deep within your heart.
And yet, you dream of fantasies,
where Lust plays an integral part.

Lust and Love tend to commingle,
often blending in silhouette.
And though they're opposing shadows;
neither is immune to regret.

Both can fill your heart with desire,
but Love isn't Lust; it has no twin.
Yet despite their differences,
you can't always tell which will win.

When erotic passions ignite,
you indulge in sexual thoughts.
And if it's sex you're looking for,
Lust is likely calling the shots.

Love provides legitimacy
to emotions aroused by Lust.
Though Lust may seem compatible,
Love's tethered to the heart through trust.
