you bring out the truculent psyche inside me, the darkness within, the seven deadly sins. i embody lust because like glass i am grains of sand struck by lightning, paralyzed with fascination, morphing into the constant craving i never was before. i represent envy because you are on the other side, and the other side doesn’t know how lucky it is to have you; your lingering breath and soul. i am sloth because like all lonely mortals, deficiency of love, the absence of you withdraws me from passion and fervour, for non-fictitious emotions. i exhibit wrath because our bones once clinched tightly together have shattered beneath. your touch is now foreign, this vexes me and i am spiralling down an infernal of self-loathe. i symbolize gluttony because i often indulge within the taste of your lips, your beguiling smile all without which i feel astray, swimming in an ocean of lost love; i yearn for you excessively, to be with me, only me. i am both pride and greed infused into one because i am still persistently craving for more, yet too vain to openly admit it to the world. you have spun me over and pulled me apart, now i’m a sinner with you perpetually in my heart.
