On Lust and Love

Better to marry than burn with lust
So to be merry, I married Mary which I thought was a must
Be that as it may, turned out it was a bust
Loving without love is just crushed stardust
Eventually blown away by apathy’s weak gust
Once two fiery hearts, now doused with lust’s rust

Finding the relationship has corroded leaving only rust on the once shiny feelings. Nicely done.
