The Relationship Dichotomy
By: Michael A. Cordova

Do we begin with love,
or do we begin with lust?
Or is it an ever-evolving,
teetering and overlapping
mesh that is becoming of
life's dichotomy of love and lust?

Will we ever learn
to be happy with what we have,
rather than always lusting
after that which we do not?

Is there even a remote chance
that man can change his ways?

Do we begin with lust,
or do we begin with love?
As plaguing as this question is,
it has been asked time and time,
and to this day, it has yet
to garner an answer worth noting.

It all comes down to what I know within,
and what I feel is right.
When I live life from within my heart,
I forget to follow with my sight.

And the answer reveals itself:
When TRUE LOVE exists, lust cannot.
