Lemon Eyes and Perfect Lies
Two of my favorite themes to use, now I'd like to see others try it. How do jealousy and deception pair together? Poetry is preferred on this one, but any format is okay if really needed. Don't forget to tag me in the comments.

What Envy Does

First came the evy,

directed at me.

Wanting everything I had,

but not the flaws she was to blind to see.

The anger followed,

and I'm shure she felt hollowed.

Seeming to have nothing,

since self-pity was as she had,

she felt much greif, and she wallowed.

How much she wanted my stuff,

led her to bluff.

No matter what she stole with lies,

she never had enough.

She began to grow stronger,

as I grew meak.

Her reign grew longer,

and she made me weak.

She wanted my life, but she still had her own.

Whatever she lost would cause her to moan,

no one could have what she didn't,

and her anger caused her to rip her life

into peices that could never be sewn.

So let this be a lesson to all,

if you begin to envy, you will begin to fall.

Trapped in a web of lies and schemes,

you would lose all your hopes, and lose all your dreams.
