Desire
Lucas Jan 2018
When does desire become lust
When does desire become fruitless dreams of yesterday

Was desire ever anything more than lust

Why does desire keep me awake, as if it is a physical hunger for foreign food

Like a mother stopping her child from eating too many sweets, the world stops me from having what I desire

Perhaps to protect me from realising the falsehood of my dreams
Or maybe because the world knows my intentions

— The End —
