Love and Lust

I've lived and moved on
through a bunch of mess.
I've had my fun times, my mishaps
and my mess.
But this a new beginning 
a new day and a new time,
I'm the queen of my own destiny
the starter of my own grind.

I use to play with the word "LOVE"
until New Year's Day,
God blessed me with a love,
and gave me the right away.

So I took the "us" out of 'LUST"
and prayed to God above,
because now I know that I'm tired of lust
but my heart is ready to love....
