Porn is Not Love

For the Short and Sweet Challenge!

Porn is not love

It's not even lust

Porn can ruin your life

Porn can only give you pain

Porn can only give you hurt

Love can give you pain

Sure

Love can give you hurt

Sure

But

Only

Love

Love no porn

Love can save your life

Love can give you joy

To feel the love

You don't need

Its vile and fake mark

You don't need

Its reek, its dirt

The vilee mark of porn

Don't let it suck you in

Don't give ear to its lies

Don't let it have its win

Don't give ear to its lies

Even if you have to wait

For love to make its mark

Don't give in to porn

Porn will give you pain

Porn will make you hate

You, one and all

Love will give you joy

Thanks for reading!

This is maybe not so sweet and is for the Short and Sweet Challenge. It still makes a valid point, and for anyone who may have read between the lines of other posts about addiction, it is something close to my heart.
