Not prepared to lose
The one I hold to my heart so near
Trying so desperately
To silence the thoughts
Voices in my mind
Telling me
“Walk away”
“it’s okay”
And
“Leave it all behind”
I don’t want to hear it
Silencing the footsteps toward the door
Blanking the vision of a life with him no more
They were wrong
deadly sins- they say there are seven
What about that which deceives you
Making you believe you are in heaven?
What about the one that builds you up
Only to know you back down
Lights your flame
Only to drown you out
Makes you believe
Only to then deceive
What about the eighth guest
On the devil’s party list
The one after the seven deadly sins
The plus one
The date
The one who tells you
Sorry I’m running late
Only to not turn up after letting you wait
What about love?
Deadly sin number eight.
