Jealousy


Oh, her voice

Sweet and enthralling

Honed by Apollo himself

Made to haze any man

That dared hear her

With a voice that could crash a ship

Or make a clueless man

Fall for her lullaby

 

And, oh, her beauty

Like if Aphrodite 

Had crafted her in her womb

Bestowing her a fiery mane

As red as the crimson blood

That made those plump limps

Jump from her face

A face that could blind

That could bend a man's will

 

And, oh, her heart

Her purity and zealousness

Like if Zelus had grazed her

With that lovely laughter of him

 

For the seven seas

She makes me gag

Just because she's Triton and Athena's sweet daughter

She thinks she can get that lovely prince

With his eyes that call of home

The ocean...

A place that dreads me too

 

I hate her

I hate her and I want what she has

Just because she's pretty

And me...

Me...

I'm nothing next to her

A wicked witch in a horrendous body

A wicked creation doomed to wreak havoc

Maybe...

 

Yes, yes, yes

What's most precious to her

I'll steal

And use it

Magic can help me

I'll trade this awful tentacles for soft legs

A body that would make a man's jaw hit the hard ground

A face that will hypnotize

And with that voice...

He'll be mine
