Seven Deadly Sins – Lust

Endless craving for satisfaction,
Losing myself in the chase for sensation
Escaping
Separation
I cannot stop
Breathless
Take me higher
There is no ground
There is no limit

So is my emptiness
So is my loneliness

give me pleasure
give me gratification
give me love

Whatever you are

Desire is what keeps me alive
In motion
takes me from one diversion to the next
survival
to escape the absorbing, yawning chasm
holding my pain
anxiety
but satisfaction is just temporary
and in its decrease
emptiness intensifies
insatiable
grasps to swallow me
obsession to run away

Desire is the force
that drives me away from the abyss
intoxicates me, pierces its hooks deeply into my flesh
makes my objects of pleasure an attachment
makes me a slave to them
addicted

Craving for the next, the better high
Under the spell of next and better and more
Being mesmerized into false achievement
fake ecstasy
A user, used
Consumer of pleasure
Give me more
Take me higher

Boundless, ever unfulfilled desire
expanding emptiness
survival

leaves me back

Jaded
Consumed
