Love, Lust, Desire and Loss

Love is a word that gives hope to fool,
Love is betrayal used to keep me from you.
Love you say when the person wants to leave,
Love is the burden and a tricky disease.

Lust is the connection that keeps us together,
lust covers the uneventful forever.
Lust keeps things as emotional as one,
Lust keeps to the press souls and let them get some.

desire alone is hard on one's soul,
desire is in the of emotion while alone.
desire is equal to being there for each other,
desire makes you realize you're only a lover.

loss is what happens is you are so cruel,
loss is me believing and being your fool.
loss is the promises that you did break,
loss is a sadness, produced by the fake.

I am very impressed by this poem. Love and loss are refrains in poetry, but very few poets go into into lust or desire without losing the ambiguity that really makes a poem. Congratulations!
