Thought I'd try posting some poetry I made on a whim. Haven't done much of it before and I'm sure this is a bit on the nose, but I wouldn't mind some feedback.
Thank you for reading.
Lust
Lust is like venom
It squeezes tight like denim
It’s sneaky and invasive
And it’s skilled at being persuasive
Like the snake, it promises something beyond measure
But it ultimately denies you of the true treasure
It offers something fake, something counterfeit
You won’t know the difference though, once you’re in the thick of it
That dopamine, that feeling, that ecstasy
It pulls you right into a fantasy
In there you’re somebody special, you’re king or queen
The difference being that the other person isn’t real or seen
As you get higher and higher
You’re sinking deeper and deeper into the mire
By the time it’s over, you’ll know you’ve been cheated
But you have no one to blame but yourself. You feel defeated
Loneliness comes back. It sucks you dry
After a while, it makes you wanna cry,
“Nobody loves me! No one at all!”
“I’m disgusting, unwanted, and no one hears my call!”
But there is one who has heard. And He’s always been with you.
Through repentance, He makes you clean and brand new
The scars remain, and you wonder if your loneliness will end
But fear not beloved, for that is why He had been sent
So there’s no need to despair, no need to mope
For He offers a future and a hope …
