Defining Love

Thank you very much my dear
for a message sent loud and clear.
Looks like one of your days has arrived again
for you to pause and say we can still be friends.
I know you feel free to go ahead and tell me you love me still  
in between those sexual romps with a new friend you couldn't wait to touch and feel.
Your definition of Love to me is lust
and lust can only satisfy an urge
and will always prove to be untrue.
I'm fully aware I'll never receive real love from you.
Yes, we drifted apart and were not close together as we should have been
but why is it that this so called love of yours seems to come to an end
each time a new opportunity for lust begins.
So once again I listen unimpressed as I hear you say
we can still be friends anyway.
But could you possibly tell me the reason why
I would want to stay in touch with an unfaithful woman I will never admire or trust
always claiming she loves me
and only loving her lust.

It's simple my friend, you can't.
a heartfelt read.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

One word says it all...."impossible!"  This was a very good poem tho.  It reminds me alot of myself and my situation.  Oh well.... life goes on and on and on and on!  

I do not love you for being perfect.....
I love you for being perfect for me!!

Wonderful poem....very expressive of your feelings...I've been there before with guys and there comes a point to where their presence completely disgusts me...now see...I hate men for a good reason.   Joking...I don't hate them all. It's just a woman thing. But anyway....once again excellent poem!

James this is so pithy and to the point. Loved it but hope it's not real for you.
Be well

very nice poem, and there is a difference between love and lust. Love brings you home to the same person, love is a committment. Love makes you trust in all this we see that lust can make you loose.

Very nice poem, really spoke to me.
I'm glad you put an end to this, those kind of relationships never improve.

hmmm...thought-provoking poem...makes me wonder about the people that so easily confuse lust with love and give up someone in their life that is kind and caring and responsible, etc. for a great "roll in the hay."  
  Just what I like...a poem that will make me think for hours and hours...Nice job.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
