The Lust

We never really had anything

Not a real relationship, or good friendship for that matter.

It was more like lust..

Yes, we both just lusted for each other.

but for me, that lust turned into more.

For me, It started something deep

You, oh you, you were just in lust...

I should have easily known it wouldnt happen.

There was no way you could love me.

All you felt was lust....

No real relationship, just my hopes of one comming true.

I put in much effort, put up with so much, tryed time and time again,

to make you see i felt more than just lust...

Tears constintly falling, my heart repeatedly breaking,

but you, you couldnt see,

past the lust...

Over a year of the same games with no reward,

you never wanted it to change did you?

No, oh no, you enjoyed it too much to change...

Lust...

Its a horrible way to start a relationship,

if you so choose to call it that.

I knew better, but i was in too deep to stop.

Now the time has come...

The lust is gone,

we are done,

this is goodbye...

Such a universal theme. I know of what you speak first-hand...

I chose t read this piece because of the title. To be honest, I expected to find a sensual, lustful, raw and maybe primal poem. "Lust" is appropriate to what you talk about in the poem, but it's also somewhat misleading by itself. Remember that the title is the first thing that draws the reader in, so you have to adhere to it. I also think the word "lust" gets repeated a few too many times.

All in all a good effort "in my opinion" :)
