Lust

All I have is Lust

All I have is Lust

You ask me, "How dare?"

I ask you, "What do you care?"

I fend for myself in a world that I have abandoned 

I tend to my wounds in a world that is heartless

I will speak when my time will come

I will know when my heart will heal

I shall not hide the ugliness of my naked self

I shall not abandon the helpless child within

I shall not be afraid of the injustice I resent deep inside my being 

My Lust is an unquenchable thirst I must carry through the unknown

As I pass my days until redemption

I  build my home brick by brick; brick by brick; brick by brick

For Love to honour my humble home again

Until then, I wear my Lust on my sleeve

For what else is Left in a Life bereft of Love?

All I have is Lust and I refuse to apologise
