Lust

By Wiccad

 She lies there perfect in mind
Perfect in body
Every mans desire
Igniting his fire

Leaving behind the true one
The one who pulled him 
Out of that black pit of despair
Was his branch, never bowed

Two decades of shaping
Bending and supporting
Growing together
Loving and living 

That look of disgust
The hateful way of being
Never wanting or needing
Simply thrown away

Taking perfect over commitment
Touching, tasting
Lapping up every drop
Pounding it till you lose your breath

Take the knife again
Jab it deep and give a turn
This perfection shall burn
White hot then cold

Have broken the perfect mold
Bury it deep 
And under our tree
Two decades built up
Our roots will smother thee

Cold and damp
Dark and dank
The perfect final rest
The perfect way to end
