The Scent of Lust

In a bathtub filled with dirty love, We scrubbed away the perfume of perfection. Good riddance to the anxious inhales of aromatic fury And the blanket of peace that shielded my mind from the truth. We tore away the seal of approval from those who matter In favor of a twistier path towards enlightenment. The scent of lust spiraled downward into the deep abyss And we were reborn with new hope and a new scent of lust Unfamiliar to those not entangled in the web of hopeful yet destructive love.
