Love and Lust

Love and lust, so easily mistaken.
when it's real it will leave you shaken.
When you love straight from the heart,
it's coming from a better start.
And when you lust with all you've got,
your blood will rise and make you hot.
When it's the heart that you can feel,
even broken it can still heal.
It's something you can pass along,
especially when you felt it strong.
When you loose that feel from lust,
you then move on, this is a must.
So don't confuse the two of these,
though you will do whatever you please.
Just try to trust and hear what I say,
and you will make it through another day.
