The Fire of My Deadly Sins

I lust for you; my desire melts away at my senses My need to have you is genuine; no false pretenses I want you to quench my thirst and feed my hunger My greed is overwhelming; I feel it taking me under I just want a taste of you; I know I won’t get enough Gluttony keeps me near you; pulling away is so tough You belong to another yet I can’t stop the yearning Pride won’t allow me to douse the fire that’s burning I envy the woman who has captured your heart Like a sloth, I can’t move; I can’t tear myself apart My heart has grown roots; it’s become firmly planted But my wrath slowly grows as you take me for granted I have fallen for you yet you continue to play me… Your lies keep flowing as you constantly betray me… I truly care for you but I’m not playing anymore games… Lord, forgive my sins as his bed engulfs him in flames.
