It Wasn't Love

This is a poem i wrote for an ex-boyfriend a while back....i was looking through some of my older stuff and this was there. It's about how you can mistake lust for love in a relationship.

We had sex,
And it wasn't bliss,
It wasn't romantic, full of love,
It wasn't togetherness.

We had sex,
And all that it was,
Was ecstasy, just like a drug,
A pure hormonal rush,
I couldn't get enough.

We had sex,
It became all we were,
Staying with each other,
Because of the pleasurable lure.

We had sex,
We were not ready for it,
We weren't in love, we barely knew each other,
Our personalities didn't fit.

We had sex,
Over and over again,
That's what kept us together,
We thought it'd never end.

But sex got old real fast,
And we had no feelings towards on another,
Our lust, it didn't last,
And now we search for something better,
Separately.

We could've waited longer,
Not gotten pulled into the addiction,
We could've built a relationship,
Instead of choosing sex as our mission.

Lust fades, it never lasts,
Love seems to stay longer,
We could've held fast,
Not to sex, but to each other.

I have had relationships where it just started feeling like he was only in it for a piece of tail. All he ever wanted to do was have sex... no cuddling, no foreplay... no nothing.. and all he could talk about was sex.. and wanting me to do things to turn him on. It gets really tiring. You conveyed my feelings exactly.. Awesome Poem!

This had twists and turns which I like. at first I thought wow, bad sex must suck but then it turned out to be mind blowing sex.. nicely done with showing how sex isn't the key motivation in a real relationship. I like the message you are saying here. Nice Write.
