Analysis of Seven Deadly Sins
I wasn’t gluttonous, but for you, ravenous.
It was always lust, never true love.
You gave everything, I was greedy, still.
It wasn’t something for others to envy.
I took pride knowing you were mine.
How could I know that being a sloth,
I’d lose you to my heart’s wrath.
