A Saint and A Sinner
Wrath is a sin
As is lust
Could you balance and a have both?
Could you drop and change course?
One and one
Balanced harmony
Lust and gluttony
Lust and sloth...
Dinner and a movie
But you keep walking out
The logic in me says I lost
The empathy says move on
You call it toxic
I call it living with an alcoholic
Who had understood both parts
Me the unbalanced art
Through the celestial skies
Through my festival of lights
I prayed often to feel joy
You prayed for me to stay
Beknown I was here all the time
Masculine and fem
I told you again and again you're my it
What more could I give
Patience stretched thin
God knows
God seen
He led the way so I could breathe
We all need that.
I never suffocated you
just loved
Everything you had in me you'll see in her
I hope you heal instead of calling her a push over
I had stress going on and I'll blame myself for moving on
Hold myself accountable where I should
But I didn't play a game
I love hard.
The Saint and the Sinner;
Hipocritical winner.
