Love Or Lust

love can't be helped 
it's either you love someone or not
your mind can't tell your heart what to do
your heart can't control your mind
your heart and mind can't control your body
your body can't control itself
you sometimes ask yourself why?
then you wonder why you ask yourself why
love is so strong, but can you separate love from truth
can you separate love from fiction
can you separate love from hatred 
can you separate love from lust
does lust take over your mind, soul and body
or can your mind take over lust
do you have your heart headed in the right direction
or does your mind take control of your every move or thought
or is it the other way around
is your mind headed the right direction
and does your heart take control of your mind and soul and every decision you make
what is love
does truth take over all your lies passed through your history
and does truth take over the future
or is it all a lie
do you know what kind of world you're living in
do you  know right from wrong
can you separate love from lust
