Is it just a game?
The pursuit of romance,
To see who may win
The “prize” of a female,
I dearly hope not.
Am I so blind,
That I let other peers,
Lead me to this belief.
Two sides of my soul,
One dark and one light,
One wishes to believe that
Love is just a game,
The other pursues the
Idea of true love.
The crowd around me,
Believes in the game,
Though I may sit back and laugh,
For I know, as it may seem
An impossible task, that I,
May win the heart of another,
Not by lust, but by love.
But wait, am I being hypocritical,
Is the line not clear,
That love is lust,
And lust is not love,
Can you have both?
Without tearing romance apart.
How far can you take it?
Before it is too much,
Or should you not take it at all.
I have come to a point,
Where my mind is at war.
My thought may confuse you,
Though make perfect sense to me.
I have found it, the answer,
Love is lust, but lust is not love.
Can you not love one so much,
That “lust” takes a whole new meaning.
Dose lust have to take the form,
Of an unholy act,
I dearly hope not.
This game is false,
Now every-things confused,
Can you, as I, figure it out?
I hope you do.
For love is a wonderful feeling,
That I wish to share with one,
And with one I shall share it with.

i agree with missgreenkristine, but i also think that the rhetorical questions and the confusing emotions make the piece great, because that's what love is. it is a confusing emotion that no one will ever truly understand no matter how hard we try. this is a good write, thankyou for entering my contest goodluck.

Your rhetorical questioning and changes of feelings from beginning to end is telling a greater story than what you've led on...I think you need to take out some of your confused emotions and allow for a more concrete character development here.
