Red With Envy
Jealousy rooted from lack of perfection
The gentlest fangs of sin bite deep
Admiration in a word, on the edge of obsession
Digging further then superficiality
An obscure desire to resemble another
Aching to taste the insuperable value of his being
The pain of inadequate results rack the heart with deprivation
Yet some how give rise to aspiration in the self.
Somewhere in the twisted knot of envy and benevolent spite
Hope is manufactured in the form of adoration.
The most beautiful thing that passion can offer.
