So lost in texts, missing the moments
Simulating connections, but really longing
Words flowing, but emotions shallow
Calls made, just seeking a favor to borrow

SMSing in the heat of desire
Charming words when feelings are on fire
Feigning concern, masking the guilt within
Playing games of love, a web of sin

Kisses and sexts, a lustful dance
Ignoring my feelings, always taking a chance
Prioritizing your needs, my heart cast aside
From nothing to something, but love denied

Thought our love was pure, but I was deceived
Believed in a love that had already retreated
Not love, but desire that fades when fulfilled
Leaving me empty, with heartache instilled

Oh foolish me, for falling for lust's sweet lies
Sacrificing myself, while they partake in disguise
Different shapes and sizes, but all just the same
In the end, they call you a whore, with no shame

Guilt and worthlessness creep in, a heavy weight
Frustrated with everything, feeling your fate
But remember, sex is not a basic need
Choose wisely, don't let it define your creed

Take care of yourself, don't be defined by others' views
The path you choose today shapes your future, it's true
Take precautions, think before you act
Slow and steady, navigate life's complex tract
