O Lord thank you for showing the way so lost was I in evil thoughts - Seeing others as objects of my pleasure thinking I loved them yet I only lusted - The world didn’t show me the way of truth kept me thinking that desire is love - But what is love when it’s only clinging when all people are just objects for me - What is love without freedom to give apart from desire to possess?

Love - Lust
O Lord thank you for showing the way so lost was I in evil thoughts - Seeing others as objects of my pleasure thinking I loved them yet I only lusted - The world didn’t show me the way of truth kept me thinking that desire is love - But what is love when it’s only clinging when all people are just objects for me - What is love without freedom to give apart from desire to possess?
