LUST FADES TO DUST

Get what I want I must,

And all my energy into it I thrust,

I’ll give anything, pay any cost,

Just to have it for better or worst

But that’s only until it begins to rust,

And all I’ve put together goes bust,

By then my zeal for it is lost,

And I want another much more than the first

I realize my want wasn’t just,

It was just desire’s crust,

Meant to feed my lust,

Until, it fades to dust.
