Envy

By Qwendragoness

Dark brown hair spills
Like chocolate over her vanilla skin
Piercing eyes stare out like chunks of black coal
Her glare strikes me
With a thunderous blow
With a deep knowing
That what is hers I harbor most dear

His glance turns the second it catches hers
To hide the secrets hidden deep
The charade kept at bay
In a passing moment

Our lips meet
Our embrace convincing
To all who see
A happy new couple

All the while
My deep wish
Kept like a dragons gold
To be to him as only she can be

My envy darkens my soul
Weakening my resolve
And destroys my very being

    if anyone says that they can not relate to this piece in some way that person is a fucking lier, you have ensnared the feeling of Envy and put it to pen and paper...

    i like the last stanza. the first stanza i think i could be broken up a bit...the wordiness of it makes it loose it impact.
