Love or Lust

my current situation! enjoy

 

She ignites the flame in my heart

A feeling lost when we’re apart.

Is our love strong enough to trust?

Or could it just be lust?

 

You took my ticket, you were the one

I called it love

You called it fun

You’ve done it before, it was nothing new

Could this be the reason I love you?

 

Not my girl, but not my friend

No beginning, middle, or end

No consistency, no person always there

And when I need you, no time to spare

 

Don’t get me wrong, there’s good times too

Kissing and hugging as all couples do

But, is our love strong enough to trust?

Or could it just be lust?

Which comes first? Does it matter? On my page you can find my take on what list is.
As for love, different kettle of fish as a million Poets testify.

OMG - you did it again! 'Love or Lust" - something ive been really confused about too for a long time , it used to make me crazy.
She ignites the flame in my heart
A feeling lost when we’re apart.

But, is our love strong enough to trust?

[Jonathan Biswell]

Wow very few ppl can tell the different between love and lust very nice

[Levi Levin]

Many people are deceived by thinking they are in love or that the other person loves them, when in fact, it's a life of lust. Relationships based on lust will soon crumble and end with hurt. The relationship built on love is the only one that will stand the test of time.

[Carolann Dowsett]

I love this, one of the hardest things is to define between love and lust, except true love lasts a lifetime where lust wains. Nice work

[Ursula Kay Vos]

I like the introspective look that you have taken here. Most your age do not take time to question something 'fun' and you have done so articulately.

Well done!

Well written! It was easy to read and you can really feel your emotions! And, you did it in a way that wasn't attacking per se but in a way everyone can understand. I think your point is quite accurate. Is it love or lust? I hope you can find out! Again, well done on this poem! : )

This is a well written poem. And such a serious topic too. I think we all wonder about this. The issue arrises from the confusion in our culture between Love and Romance. People confuse the two all the time and also getting in a physical relationship too soon can cause this kind of confusion. Keep writing!

The rhythm and rhyme are great! Easily read.

Now, being a fellow hormone-controlled teenager, I know where you are coming from. Lust completely changes a person in an instant. Takes over your mind.

Think about that: everything we do or say or feel is because of our instinctual need to mate.

Anyway, whether it is love or lust, both will grow to include the other. Don't you worry.

This review is all over the place, but it's late and I'm high on the loveliness of chocolate.

I really really like this. A lot. And I'm not much for rhyme. But this.. Wow.
