Death By Lust

Impervious to love or hate, trapped beneath the skin A symptom, fluid token with the temptation of sin For lust reacts such potently, a blazing whiter flame Destroys the heart and soul, the carcass burnt and maimed Hate is an emotion, a reaction, a disease Can be cured, can be forgiven, emits when you bleed Far end of the spectrum is love and fluff and trust There's cutesy bunny rabbits and reams of fairy dust Between the black and whitened points, the flying and the falls There lies the venom, there lies you, most dangerous of all An eclipse of uncertainty and narrowing of eyes Analysing, scrutinizing truth between the lies Then only speak the careful words you think they want to hear Dispose of them as delicate sweet nothings on deaf ears Emotions are exaggerated, bi-polar and confused Absconds at your most vulnerable, ensures you feel abused 30 Sept 2011
