If desires are a flame, then I am a wildfire

And I am to blame, I cannot acquire

All of the treasures, mine to admire

Yet nothing measures what I require

Greed is my flaw, though I feel no shame

And you may be in awe, but I’m not the same

All of these things, under my name

The wealth of kings, mine to claim

I am trapped still, under the heavy claw

Filled with the thrill, breaking the law

I can only lose, there will be no draw

No one to the rescue, my last hurrah

The one thing I lack of, I cannot fulfill

If push comes to shove, I know I’d kill

To feel the heat, get rid of the chill

I should not cheat, but I know I will

One thing cannot be bought, that is love

Because in thought, it’s pure as a dove

But love is twisted, and I fit that glove

Maybe it existed, below and above

Money has made me crazy, I’ve been caught

My memory is hazy, but that's my mugshot

I forget much, but I remember that I fought

Fought for his touch, to get a fair shot

I had everything, but still I needed more

I wanted a ring, someone to live for

I wanted his affection, for it is him I adore

More than my collection, my trinkets galore

I want something immaterial, something real

Greater than anything asterial, nor genteel

Someone to love me, not as a part of a deal

Not a care for the money, to whom I am ideal

My greed led me away, there is no hope

This is how I pay, falling down this slope

Into loneliness, with which I cannot cope

Find my holiness, to whatever scope

This is what I get, for being so callous

I am forever in debt, stuck in this palace

All alone, yet lets raise a chalice

Let it be known, don't treat others with malice
