7 DEADLY SINS

7 DEADLY SINS

LUST.

It causes your chocholate eyes

To melt into pools of desire,

Desire I could fantasize

About, your eyes start a wild fire

And with a look at my lips

You seem hungry for my quick fix.

But this is a dangerous sin

The kind of sin we shouldn't make

If we're not careful we might turn into animal skin.

With a mouth like that

I'm quick to forget

And a little danger never killed nobody

While my imagination promises we'll need something holy.

GLUTTONY.

Your hands pull me closer

Starting an explosion

And my mind can't seem to stay focused

Because we can never get enough

Now that causes everyone

To want us in handcuffs.

Breaking law never felt more good

Than when I'm doing it with you

But people seem to despise how we feel,

Despise the fact that we crave more

Cause we're ready to start a fight on first floor

And you're worth getting bruises for.

GREED.

But it's not more of me you need

I thought we were kind of meant to be

But when you've already got me

Your hands start to yearn for something I can't give.

More material things

You think, then, you'll be able to spread your wings

But truthfully

They won't make you king to be.

Did you forget about our danger?

And how did we cross seas only for a little change and

Promises we'll take on everybody

Who wants to make us heavenly.

SLOTH.

You want the world at your feet

But refusing growth

Expectingly, you sit

Waiting for everybody to give you both

More money and things.

You don't seem to work for it

So you beg me to give you what you want

Promising me much more than a restaurant

To have me at your knees.

But you thaught me how to stand on my own two feet

Something, you were quick to forget

I'm not holy like the rest.

WRATH.

When I refuse to do your work

And my mouth pulls into a smirk

You turn into a psychoopath

Raging on and on until the aftermath

Makes you take a cold bath.

But now you're not the only one with rage,

My vision blurs but like an ice age

And it makes me want to break your heart

Make you fall apart

But I stop.

Because there's something new playing on your lips

And spreads through you like an apocalypse.

ENVY.

There's something new playing on your lips

And I notice your eyes are filled with it

Yet another sin thats deadly

A sin so heavy

Even I'm not tempted to carry.

You resent me

Resent me for leaving you to save myself

And not still being stuck where my heart felt

For you, but just as well

You want what I have,

You want it bad

But thats not why I'm going a little mad.

PRIDE.

You see, I'm going a little mad

Because finally after those years

I escaped being your bride

And i no longer have to hide

My artistic side.

My blood is turning into ink

And it's like I'm finally free

Everything gets me inspired

It feels as if I'm never tired

And it feels so good to know I'm desired

By a guy who knows just how to appriciate my fire.
