The 7 deadly sins: Envy

Oh, so now she gives him wine
Yesterday they had a stroll
When tomorrow comes it will find her
Proudly dancing on his pole

Thou I am to meet her yet
One thing I will not forget
And that is to hate her more
For being someone he adores
"That's not nice!" I'll hear them curse,
"What an ugly thought to have!"
But I tell you what is worse:
Wanting something you can't have

Not until I'll fling my anger
Will I get a moment's rest
Envy burns me deep inside
While I place smiles on my face

If I am to be absolved
That implies I should forget
And all those moments shared between us
Were not meant to spell "Regret"

I will pay for all my sins
And I know the cost to well
They can have their nights in Heaven
While I'll gladly dine in Hell
