Unrequited Lust

Under the layers of shame,
Chained by bondages of virtues,
Pronounced forbidden by the world,
Lies the requited lust...

Suppressed by self-morals,
Dormant but not dead,
Lurking in the corners,
Of an over-zealous mind...

Scratch the surface,
It rushes with vengeance,
Making a cruel mockery,
Of your coat of chastity...

No penance,no atonement,
Liberates you from this sin,
Man was\is a lusty animal,
And animals know NO sin...
