Seven Deadly

(Confusion)
Pictures are blurry when either the camera or the person moves 
(Fear)
Faces
Pieces
Bleed together
Trembling hands touch tentatively at a stronger grip
(Denial)
Do you know how long I can hold tears in my eyes?
Almost as long as I cling to my lies
(Shame)
Wind me up and watch me go
I can outrun any problem 
But I always fall 
I have problems with looking back
A last text
A picture
(Pain)
Bleed pretty for the picture
I love your smile with less teeth and more blood
The lump in my throat is more like a blood clot
Everything seems fine but its internal bleeding 
(Envy)
Wrapped in ribbon and put in a box
I'm no present I'm entangled in my past
(Gluttony)
I feel like a fish in a circular bowl
My head is swimming and this space is suffocating 
My thoughts are constant there's no breathing pauses
If I breath too deep I fear it's bones I'll break
Emotion is how I hide my sin
Eager demons lurk within

Thank you!! To explain the seven deadly part they're seven seat emotions. All of them can lead to bad things. Even though gluttony is considered an act not so much a feeling I believe we can be gluttonous in regards to an emotion.
