Envy.

She punctures all friendships

With her precise pinprick.

She taints every moment,

Wringing it with a dense cloud

Of impenetrable haze.

She’s a devil in disguise.

With alluring green eyes

And a voice clear as the skies,

She’ll spew a million lies.

She’ll pretend to have your back,

Then proceed to stab it repeatedly

With a dagger unforeseen,

Making it all the more…

Painful.

She poisons human souls,

With an elixir with such a blow,

Even death cannot cure

Its discordant echo.

She is the unfortunate root

For much strife in this world,

But beware her treachery, dear friend:

She’s a rather beautiful, feisty girl.

She’ll tempt you, brainwash you

With all of her might,

But she’ll leave you hateful, desperate,

As she departs into the night.
