The value of Lust

Love hurts… but lust feels pretty good.

Some things just balance each other out… Sunshine after the rain, a tan after the burn, and calm after the storm, and well, lust after love went sour.

Oh beautiful love makes your heart dance and your face glow. Everything is rainbow and lollipops when you’re in love. The sky seems bluer, the grass seems greener, and your heart pumps louder.

But when the high comes down and the relationship crashes, it feels like the love bug that once bite you now took a 6 oz. chunk out of your heart with jaws the size of butcher knives. Your floating heart has now been buried. That glowing flame is but a pile of ashes. That happy heartbeat now feels like its being rung out like an old dish rag and it just hurts to breathe.

Love actually feels wonderful; it’s the end of love that hurts so badly. Well, my friends, that’s when you gotta put your weak old little heart on the magic carpet of lust and just ride it out ‘til the pain melts away…

Love and lust are two different things. Love is the blood that pumps your heart and makes you want to be a better person. Lust is the fire that pumps your loins and makes you want to be a better lover. Don’t confuse them. Love can be a beautiful thing, but the pain you feel once it’s gone could leave little scars on your heart for a lifetime, that’s why we have lust. It attempts to erase them. It stitches the holes up. Lust can get us through the tough shit. Lust doesn’t judge you. You don’t have to let your heart in the way when it comes to lust. Don’t confuse your emotions, let them rest. Put all your pain on the back burner and enjoy the flames of lust for awhile.

If you understand the concept of enjoying the heat of another body, a little rendezvous without attachments, and a conversation that is spoken with the eyes, understood with the hands, and doesn’t need to be all mangled up with serious conversation, that is lust. You don’t have to think or speak; you just “get it.”

I always say the quickest way to get over someone is to get under someone else. Why? Because it feels good. When your heart is broke and you’re down on the dumps, lust will pull you back up from that sorry ass place and make you feel alive again. If love closes the door on your heart, then pull out some lust from underneath your sheets and let that knock you around for a bit. Get you back on your feet. Get the blood pumpin.’

So to all the broken hearted souls out there: “Get off your ass and go get laid.”

*Don’t forget to “glove the love” though; cuz lust may hurt like love if you don't. And well, we don't need to be feeling flames in more places than neccessary....
