Emotional Cipher

Goddess bless as she jests.

What can be the difference
between love and infatuation
Is one the true feeling
and the other imagination
Elders say to infatuate
is the way of love for fools
Yet the mystery of love
follows no definite rules

Maybe infatuation is
only physical attraction
Peppered with emotion
for the heart's distraction
But even true love
in it's purest sense
Is salted with
a taste of decadence
Both feelings may devolve
into that which is just
A purely physical attraction
known as the infamous lust

Although so very similar
there must be some difference
And if I were to choose
love would be my preference
