Lust is a Red Pen

Lust is a red pen

Used to leave marks, to produce their

Own idea of corrections, the ink

Stains our skin, and only after

Multiple rubs, does it even begin

To fade away. The red is bright,

Alluring. The color stands out

Amongst the others. Though we try to ignore its

Markings, we are lured in, and we give in. We change

According to what the red ink, and its

Marks tell us. No matter how much change

We’ve made because of them, they will casually move onto

their next subject. Sometimes,

We only realize this reality, once

It’s gone. Then, the vicious

Cycle beings over, and over again.
