Lust
Lust is just a passing urge;
Love is the desire to merge.
Lust will take but will not give;
Love is more demonstrative.
Lust can never get enough;
Love can take the rare rebuff.
Lust gets up and leaves at dawn;
Love’s embrace is not withdrawn.
Lust is loath to get involved;
Love wants any snag resolved.
Lust has pleasure as its goal;
Love is in it heart and soul.
Lust is merely copular,
Yet love is not as popular
