Between Like, Lust and Love

I'm lost in that place between lust and love Where the person I used to like no longer exists Instead they have transcended into a being that I long for Lust is the only pure thing that I can explain it as But I do not long to engage in secularities I only wish to love you outside the lines shape love To the point where it consumes me To where obsession is accepted as routine And instead of taking place of the one I worship You become my religion itself Where I hold your name in my heart Whisper thoughts of you with prayers Drape crucifixes around your picture... Ask God to watch over you, Yeah I know I smother you at times But I can't control my need for you As hopeless as willing my heart to stop beating Or holding my breath until I pass out into unconsciousness ---and start breathing again by instinct How can I not try to pave your way Watch your step, pick up the pieces you leave behind I love you enough to sacrifice my happiness For what I believe you deserve Forsake my wants and needs To see your smiling face Give till it hurts and let the hurt numb my heart I will face the world by your side No matter what it holds against me And God knows your world hates me To you I submit these things, my love, my heart, my loyalty... And in return I ask for nothing Except that you be happy...Habibi ya nur al ein... Written September 27th, 2001 © on Sep 27 2001 09:19 AM PST   0 • 16
