Green

When I had nothing
you were as close as a brother,
now heaven has smiled upon me
you are another.

I see envy in your eyes,
your heart, you are green,
and it has seeped to
the very core of your being!

Tugging and tearing
at the seams of your consciousness,
'Til kinship, trust and confidence
have gone from us.

And it gnaws at your insides
like worms in your belly,
and for what, when all of mine is yours
pray tell me?

Make right before fate
makes certain your doom,
and you by your envy
are consumed!
