there’s a difference
when someone looks at you
with lust
and stares at you with compassion
what was once a whole
is now a fraction
there’s a yin but
the yang is absent

you’re the one that did it but
you can’t explain your actions
then act like
i’m overreacting

we love
we lust
we fuss
we fight

what happens in the dark
must come to light
i hate goodbyes
a hug and a kiss
just won’t suffice

there’s a difference between
love and attraction
a one night stand and
a bond that’s everlasting
