Lust and Pain

Lust and pain,
Go hand in hand.
Lust and pain I must refrain,
I must train to refuse the pain, 
Trust myself, not to lust.
My lust will only be the cause of my world to bust.
Wide open with a ethereal pain.
Tear my being from disdain.
Fill my entrails full of pain and lust.
Why does the world feed us so much pain?
