Long time no see

It's been a long time. I haven't seen you
You come 'round here no more
So many years that I can't be sure
Wich one of us parted, and which was blue.

The house is empty, the rooms are cold.
These walls surround me without a breath
Devious laughter feels like it's so old
Smoke hides pain in a wreath.


Did you feel me this away?
Or did you not wanted to say?
Words you meant you didn't say!

I took the dog outside and smelled the rain.
Even she was poisoned with your scent.
Melt away in the abandoned lane
Such a home... Such a life I had to rent.

..Or if you prefer: Pride - Mother of all sins.

First one of the, duh, Seven Deadly Sins serie.

"Vanity is an excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise."


symbolism?
It's all pretty obvious but I will explain some stuff which inspired me, to sound cool, mind you.

- As you can read up, vanity is linked with the color violet, so here you go the color theme.
- Peacocks remind me of vanity as well, therefore I have used a peacock feather as an inspiration for the "frame".
- You can see the background being desertish (plus the dead tree)... Vain people usually never see any beauty in the world, but only in themselves... That is why everything around them, sooner or later, dies - and that is what I have tried to depicture.

"Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work"

This is the fifth from the Seven Deadly Sins series.

Symbolism:

- She is sitting on a swing and blowing bubbles: it's a symbol of wasting your time on insignificant things; idleness

- She is placed above the ground, in the sky: symbol of being separated from Earth and mundane htings (like work etc)

- Feathers: to me they symbolize something sleepy and lazy

- Color: to me light blue is also a color of sleepiness and idleness
