Love is just a mirage

love is a chemical reaction
a need for sexual satisfaction
sure I have my disillusion
I think love is just a fusion
love is just a jumbling of senses
losing control of ones defenses

love is just a mirage
it'll slip through your hands
just like desert sand

its just a thirst
that becomes worse
you think its love you feel
cause your thoughts reel
you think this is it
so you submit

then you wake up hot and dry
sexual needs satisfied
now you learnt what I know
love as quickly comes, quickly goes
the heat of passion is incomparable
but the morning after is unbearable

love is just a mirage
it uses passion as a camouflage
it'll slip through your hands
just like desert sand
