Love vs. Lust


People all the time are using the word love For what they feel, they think it's the explanation The only ones who truly know are now above No one has felt it in this entire nation In this world love is a physical notion Everyone cares about face, hair, and body This "love" cannot survive the distance of an ocean Lust is this love that is naughty Love is you knowing the true self of someone But still you care for then despite their flaws They can be teased, hurt, and helped by no one The one who truly loves protects then from the claws How do you know if you feel love or lust? The answer is hidden somewhere among the dust
