Vain - first draft as part of my 8 deadly sins series.

Vain -
Porcelain to plastic
Plaster the cracks
Fantastic to perfection
Erasing the tracks

The balloon complex
Better to inflate
Hide the folds
Sin to deflate

The hands of time
The bitch of fate
Turn back the body
Your soul to break

Feed your lust
Display your greed
Glutton for the blubber
It's addiction you feed

Stitch by stitch
Seduced to the knife
turning back the years
Masked to a life.

The vanity of one
A patchwork dream
A pieced together wonder
A tragedy it seems.
