Seven Deadly Sins - Lust

The fell, wicked breath
Of separation is falling
On the back of my neck,
Making me shy and flinch.
I desperately don't want
To say my goodbyes,
So I'll hide here in your arms
For another day.

At first the heat
Of your summer kisses
Kept me warm wherever I roamed,
And your blue eyes
Filled me with a burning desire
That I'd never known before.
I was sure that this was
Love as true as the sea.

But then you shook my world,
My very being, right down to my core.
You couldn't believe in me,
Nor I, you. I saw through
The smoke of the raging fire
And was warded with the
Bitter wind of contempt
That blew from our wedding rings.

How could I have been such
A callow fool those years ago?
How could I have chained myself
To the bow of a sinking ship?
How could I have made the mistake
Of choosing you for a lifelong companion
While my eyes were made blind
By the bright fires of lust?
