Seven Deadly Sins

Sloth lays in her abandoned room

Dressed  in yesterday's clothing and make up

She looks at the time and says

“Maybe tomorrow”

 

Wrath hurls the pictures against the walls,

Black mascara runs down her red face

He lied about her

 

Envy calmly wipes the dark red stain off her knife

Her short green dress splattered in crimson

If she couldn’t have him, no one could

 

Greed lounges in a chair of gold

The heavy crown atop his head glistening

“Invade the next kingdom” he exclaimed

 

Gluttony hiccups at the town bar

Soaked in the bitter smell of cheap bourbon

As he raises his finger for another round

 

Lust watches him from across the dance floor

Wearing a form fitting dress and tall heels

She bites her lip and intends to make him hers

 

Pride stands in front of the company

Clad in a sleek suit and smug expression

He exclaims that his way is the only way
