• It’s the need
    The natural instinct
    A hunter and prey complex
    The survival

    It’s the longing
    The emotional clutch
    The drive of life
    And all creation

    It’s the wanting
    A hidden desire
    In plain sight
    That lures innocent souls

    It’s the mental pull
    The physical push
    A dive into deep waters
    A gratification

    It’s the taste
    A sip of the poisoned wine
    The bitter sting
    That makes the craving irresistible

    It’s the pain
    The aftermath
    The incinerated paradise
    The lost ecstasy
    That rips kind hearts to shreds

    It’s the fangs of lust
    Sinking deep under skin
    That draws out rationality
    And replaces it with thirst


    …and it’s called love
