Analysis of Innocent victim of love and lust
Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)
A heart stands alone,
stuck between the battle of love and lust.
Love is powerful,
but lust is seductive.
Run heart, run.
For the two will always fight,
and only one will win.
Dragging you down into hell's abyss,
or filling your heart with happiness.
Stay neutral and stay pure.
Save yourself.
For God is the only one you can truly trust.

Give into desire or seek to end the loneliness. The single person's ever-lasting battle.
