Envy


Who is envy?

 

Is she the green eyed monster of legend

or the modern princess, glittering in jewels?

 

Does she have a smile like cotton candy

and the wrath of a fallen army?

Or is she like glass-

Transparent and broken?

Does her voice crack and whine

or does it ring out like a Queen’s?


Maybe she only dances like the devil- fleeting and untrue.
