Analysis of LUSTED
I will call it desperation
Yes, it was all desperation
to belong where I never belonged
with a he that is now a stranger.
I lusted over fake things
became an addict to pains n tears
after each holler and perfidy
ravaging my mind unawares.
Lust got me lost
took every ration of my gray matter
then grace came forth
affirm me just as I am.
