False Dichotomy

Love or lust?

By Brandy ReckawayPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I look up to the sky

as I ask myself why

I keep thinking back

To this false dichotomy;

Is it love or is it lust?

Does it even really matter

to him and not just me?

This is detrimental

To my mind; can't you see?

You're my perfect dose;

My personal ketamine.

But I keep going back.

Running circles in my head.

This false dichotomy;

Is it love or is it lust?

If we hook up in the bed

Will it really be enough?

Should I keep you at a distance

Or let you break my heart?

These thoughts are detrimental;

How did they even start?

The dichotomy between the two

Is really rather stark.

You are my perfect dose of ketamine;

Clear my mind and numb me

Before I drown in this sea.
