Envy

by brown cow

Envy is you
Envy is me
Envy is all you are and all I want to be

Cowardly in the face of danger
Powerful as a force in one’s life
Envy is the masked man
Who has come to take you through the night

Envy is the vulture intently watching from above
Envy is the dream you have of what life should be full of
Envy is the quiet master of all the light in life
Envy is a stabbing by a dull knife

Stars glow black
Following the minds twisted path
Toward the light you think you know
The light this envy shows
