Living in Lust

By: James L Powers

I look at the empty bottles on the floor
More alcohol is what I need
To cure this poor soul

The decisions are rough
And love gives me no trust
Does it always have to be lust?
I continue to fuss

Making people happy is what I do
Making people sad is something
I would never choose

But I continue to regret
My decisions every day
Not knowing what to say
I keep my emotions in check
Hoping someday
They will come out of recess
Showing you I really do care
Showing you how hard I fell
And that I only fell for you
