Love and Lust

Real conflicts going on.

His heart torn in two

Between love and lust

Never had he thought

This day would come

 

Desires as hot as burning steel

But love as great as the ocean

Divided between worldly emotions

His heart replaced with blackened sorrow

 

Love should always be first and last

But this lust, like a poison, was taking him fast

Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run

He took the sorrow and pain instead

 

One day he spent with his lover

That spark in her eyes

The warmth of her heart

That love he treasured

Awakened his mind once again

 

Bound by sin and negativity

His heart melted away the chains

The fire of love was there once again

He knew from the start which would win in the end.

Author's Note

A conflict I was going through a while back when my girlfriend left for a month to visit Finland. It's sad to see how easily we are susceptible to things like this.

I am too, truly. This sort of thing happens a lot, but love is always the victor.

I'm sure it does it's the way the world is but love can be a powerful force when it's real.

Unfortunately some people cannot tell the difference between the two. And some of us are victims of our emotions :/ Good job :)
