Jealousy
Green is the color
I favor the least
It is the color
Of jealousy
The two horned beast
It rears his head
When you least expect
Spiteful and cruel
Wounding deep
Too hard to accept
I always forgive and forget
Have an ability to move on
You however will harbor
And retain your envy
Until alienating everyone
Dubious of everyone
who engages with me
What are they shopping for?
Why are they even here?
Please find different melody
Jealousy unfounded
Is as sad as sad can be
It is unnecessary
And pointless and
It always hurts me
Does it help you to seethe?
And put your ugly on display
Why are you unable to share?
When I love you so much
Why must there be an affray?
