Love V Lust
Perversion, lost in thinking.
Somebody's identical,
But where?
Do I drown in these thoughts alone?
Reaching, stretching, grabbing...
Is there love, hidden deep within me?
Lust overpowers, takes over, strangles.
The rainbow glistens but is it real?
Preconceptions, faded and arbitrary.
Dirty secrets are everywhere.
People smile but are they happy?
Do the stars really shine so brightly?
Will I wake up dying and diseased?
Decaying, bitterness upon my body.
My mind deteriorates and succumbs to it.
