Love and Lust, a Tragic Tale: A Heart's Journey Through Desire and Pain.
Love and Lust, a Tragic Tale
Love and lust, a tangled web we weave
The heart and body both do grieve
For when we give in to desire's hold
Our hearts may break, our love grow cold
Passion's flame can burn so bright
But love requires a gentle light
A bond that's strong and true and pure
Can withstand the trials we endure
But lust, alas, can cloud our sight
And lead us down a path not right
For when we seek only pleasure's gain
Our love and heart are bound in pain
A broken heart, a shattered dream
A love once pure, now torn at the seam
The ache and emptiness we feel
When love and lust no longer seal
So let us heed the warning sound
And keep our hearts and love unbound
For true love and lust can coexist
But only when we choose to resist
The urge to give in to fleeting desire
And nurture love that will never tire
For when we cherish what is real
Our hearts and love can truly heal
