Lust is when  
you can’t live
without each other
Love is when you
let each other live

All I wanted
before I die
was to leave something behind
a thought
a word
just a little piece of my mind
when it’s all said and done
I hope
you remember me
once I’m gone

I hid her
in a deep corner
of my mind
even talked to her
all the time
I read her books
kept her safe
until one day
she wanted
my face
I told her
“Baby, please don’t despair!”
She replied
“ it’s not fair! “
I didn’t want anyone to know  
that she was
there

She
was a dream
I once had
manifested into reality

I must confess
she was alluring
I was curious and excited
like a child
on Christmas morning
