Lust NOT Love

I don’t wanna be known

as the girl for a one night stand,

and my emotions have shown

that was never my plan.

I can not believe

all the sacrifices I made,

yet you still wanted to leave

when I wish you would've stayed.

I begged and pleaded

hoping you would stay,

but all you needed

was time to get away.

I tried to remain strong

like nothing ever happened,

but all along

I thought the pain would never end.

The pain

was eating me alive,

but I couldn't maintain

my willingness to thrive.

I was tired

of giving it my all,

that’s when I was inspired

to make that call.

“ If you wanna quit

I can quit too,

but that’s it

I’m never coming back to you.”

That’s when I realized

it was not my fault,

and with all your lies

you’d soon get caught.

All you ever wanted

was the pleasure,

and after you taunted

I became your treasure.

I thought you were the one

so I gave you everything,

but now that the damage is done

I realize you are nothing

What we had was Lust

that’s nothing to be proud of,

and it must

NOT be mistake for Love.
