Cardinal Sins

How long can you ignore my unrelenting love
How long will the door to my heart stay open
If you unequivocally deny all I try
Can my prayers I pray be received by angels above
When you reject my love before it is even spoken

My pride won't let me let you go
My anger boils when you think of him
Cursed by lust, in envy my soul rust
With a gluttonous heart, I covet and it shows
I am too lazy to try to fight my cardinal sins

Condemned to want what I cannot have
To know you love him from afar
I know it's wrong but I will keep going on
You vanquishing my love makes me eternally sad
I swallow within my cardinal sins bitterly hard
