Love is not romance.
if i requested a show of hands
of ones who’ve mistaken it for a romantic killer.
the number would be infinite .. it never ends
love is not lust
love in its purest form cant
rust
romance is stolen and sold by foul dealers
it is a poisoned bow which impales
your heart
and then it rusts, rusts and rusts ..
until it has turned into dust ..
this romantic rust dust
portrays lust as love
to your fragile heart
but i assure you my dear lover
lust is not love
it is just lust which harms
thus i urge you to fear it not.
it is afterall just dust
and dust will pass.
it will not last.
love is a strong pillar.
a healer to all who lust has caused their love light to glow dimmer.
