Lust By Day

did I want you to realize

or did I want the guilt to end

the scandalous truth

in the woodwork

about the different viewing of a friend

did I want you to feel better

or did I make myself feel worse

a piece of bravery stood out

and made me wonder if

honesty could be a curse

I'm thinking through my sorrows

my troubles haven't faded away

I knew it would all come back to haunt me

I knew far from yesterday

decisions and promises

all too quickly made

I wish I had the answers now

wishing the confusion would fade

If I could have all I wanted

would I play my cards right

and in the end nothing could be lost

with lust by day .. and love by night

I was so moved by this poem that I really don't know what to say. Genius.
