Pride
Pride, dragging down
Pulling into self absorbent
Fantasies of a narcissistic
Self worth
This dark trait we share
Over a cup of coffee
Neither owning the sin
Love should be returned
Given freely and valued
Basis for all, my desire,
Your constant need to just
Hear the words, or lies
As they render your empty shell
Filled with a spoiled milk shake
The deepest feelings we have
Corrupted by one of the "seven"
Outer mirage, only a facade
No mask I wear for you
My inner beauty suppressed
By the idea that it exist within
My sin whispers to me
He can't do better
Knowing he can't, feeds me
Ways I have always craved
Adoration, the dream girl
Never being that, settling for second
I can't go on living lies inside
My own soul, owned by God
Alone, content, me and my
Pride wrapped in an others arms
His pride, its dark beauty
Cuts the head off mine
long ago hurts, a damaged man
Using that pride for defense
Meanwhile, sucking out no
Emptiness, only your own bile
