Divorcing Lust to Marry Love

i'm divorcing lust to marry love
leaving the superficial
seeking depth in this ocean
because this relation ship is in shallow waters
bodies intertwined in sand
can you call it love making
if no love is involved?
lets call it what it really is
lust making
this union was not brought together by God
therefore easily torn asunder
rings are made of precious metals and stones
signifying eternity
rings were not given at this ceremony
although the shape was similar
the material was disposable
waste
no anniversaries were celebrated
night after night
giving of myself
to receive nothing in return
lust making kept me satisfied
but i still felt empty
how could i celebrate an anniversary?
i didn't want to count the days
weeks, months,
years that i was stuck in this empty pit
my marriage to lust must come to an end
i'm looking for love
not on myspace
but someone to share my space
i'll be free to love
i want to hold love's hand
feel his love
i want to look into his face
see his love
i want to cuddle in his warm embrace
touch his love
lust was nothing
how can you get something from nothing?
its a mathematical impossibility
seeking completion from a fragment
seeking confirmation from a guess
unable to calculate his next move
would he move on to another?
what was keeping lust with me?
i'm divorcing lust to marry love
leaving the unstable
for stability
leaving the war
for peace of mind
leaving the shallow waters
to sail my relation ship in the ocean
