7 Deadly Sins Of You

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Who are you? Who are you really? You made a life for yourself You should be proud You have the upper hand Your a movie of the week A T-shirt at best I mean at this stage When this big thing happens, we'll be sure to let you know I'm going to be standing right next to you I don't want to miss it Lust But I am nothing to you Realize the reason I am here is because I wanted to be Do you hear me? I am trying to tell you how much I admire you When I said I admired you I meant what I said You'll see There you go You enjoy torturing us Isn't that true? Sloth Your vague in your master plans It's in those eyes of yours But that's the point We tolerate it Morning, noon, and night Well not anymore Pride I tried to taste the life of a simple man It didn't work out Gluttony The question is what makes you so special? Greed What harm would it do to tell us a little bit about yourself? Two months from now no one is going to give a shit No one is going to care And no one is going to remember Wrath Since you walked away from the mess you have made We will comprehend but won't deny Was you buying our time and toying with us? I guess envy will always be my sin Thanks to you Written April 27th, 1999 © on Nov 03 2001 02:33 AM PST, Lee Gillilan   18 • 0 • 1
