Hunted Love

Broken Heart

My heart craves

Craves a love that it beats for

It searches

And hunts down

Until it finds one that is worthy to enter it

But it's all a trick

It wasn't love that was found

Again my heart mistaken love for lust

So it broke

As the hunt for love turned out to be the most painful thing my heart went through

My chest started to hurt

Tears started to fall

I will never use my heart again to hunt for a love we all wanted

My soul needs it, just as much as my heart wants it

So next time I will let my brain lead the hunt, more stable than the heart, and more calm than the soul

Let’s sustain from a broken heart and a broken spirit

Because lust was hunted down instead of love
