Lust
Lust is like a light switch
Flicking on and off
When you think youve blown the bulb
it lights itself back up
And when you think your ready,
to talk and laugh and smile
knowing in your mind
that it has been a while
the pain comes thumping back
when they talk about another
stating you and them
were never right for each other
you act like you are happy
pleased over the moon
your faces getting redder
you want to leave the room
you feel you need to wake up
stop living in a dream
in your mind its pretty great
but alls not what it seems

your faces getting redder
you want to leave the room
you feel you need to wake up
stop living in a dream

The last stanza is something i'm struggling with just now in a personal situation. Lust is a complicated thing.
