People pretend they want to know you, <br />Understand and love. <br />Forget the mind and soul where real truth lies, <br />All they want is you! <br />A fickle world that we live in. <br />Lust masquerading as love, <br />The one way street to despair and destruction. <br />I’ve lived through lust. <br />Like a drug it blew my world apart. <br />Like a gun shot through the heart, <br />Instant death when I pulled the trigger. <br />I’ve washed the crime from my hands, <br />The scar still remains.<br /><br />Joseph Tanner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lust-masquerading-as-love/
