Mind Your Chase

Lust wreaks, 
Love speaks. 

Lust appears pale, 
Love appears pail. 

Lust warrants you jailed,  
Love seeks you bailed. 

Lust travels near to sink, 
Love goes far at blink. 

Lust don't offer you much test, 
Love will give you the best. 

Lust suits you well with its pretense 
Love caress you much with its defense 

Lust makes you go for the big price
Love gives the worth cum your happy sacrifice
