There is a love that I seek
But, I have only found it within.
There are some things that come close
But, they have nepotism to fall back on.
There is the undesirable kind that beckons me to come closer
But, it can be tricky to overcome its control.
I could try to explain what they are
But, I might be called a liar among others.
One of these borders to what I refer to as lust
And yet, others make wants me display this with another to love.
There are quite a lot make my love for them more out of pity
But, I cannot tell with those people.
They refuse to open up to show that they had feelings for me
But, they make it feel they are only in search of bed partner.
It can only be true if they want me to believe in the rumors to which it belong to.
Weep not for me if that happens to be true
It is this temptation that I want the other to overcome with me.
