Love is a waltz
Two dance
Don’t dance alone
B C Steffan Apr 10
There’s this girl
She’s been around
But I never saw her
She was there
I was blind

There’s this girl
She’s softer
She doesn’t cut
me to pieces
I melt

There’s this girl
She is kind
She always is
Kind to me
I don’t know why

There’s this girl
She is beautiful  
Not like a thunderstorm
Like a summer meadow
I would lay in that meadow
All day

There’s this girl
We’re not even dating but
There’s this girl

Hi
How is your day going?
I know this is weird
me talking to you
But thank you for
listening to me
Now we can have
a conversation

First
You listen to me
Look around
Think around
Choose a person
Important to you



Thank you

Now I get to
listen to you
Why that person?

No, no, no, don’t change your answer, why that person



I can tell they’re
special to you
The way you think about them
is so beautiful
Why don’t you tell them
about your thoughts?



I know it’s scary
Just tell them
You’ll regret it later
If you don’t
Trust me

I am Greed, the next
No victory is enough
Only what is ahead
I keep my eyes upright

I am Greed, the obsession  
Men gain strength
I whisper, “more”
Men gain influence
I whisper, “more”
Men gain supremacy
I whisper, “more”
Men gain all
I whisper, “more”

I am Greed, the unavoidable
Unlike every other sin, men need me
Men need to want

I am Greed, the collector
My collection is grander than all others
But I covet only one more thing:
Your soul

I am pride, the victor
In my presence, champions prevail
I whisper, “You are unstoppable”
I, alone, create heroes

I am pride, the origin
Everything comes from me
The artistry of a painter, mine
The genius of an inventor, mine
The dominance of a conqueror, mine

I am pride, the paramount
Every beauty is but a fragment of me
Nothing compares to me
I am the apex, the summit, I define power

I am pride, the liberator
God gives laws, God gives chains
I give freedom
In me, your will leads
This is one of first pieces of poetry I've written, I'm trying to write each of the deadly sins from their perspective.
