Jealousy and Envy
Misunderstood
Misused
Both toxic and poisonous
One more than the other
Jealousy:
You were mine
You were taken
You were stolen from my grasp
While Envy:
You were never mine to keep
Never mine to lose
Never mine to put a lock on
Your smile was never to me
but to her
Your words were never for me
Even though I wish they were
And now Envy consumes me
For what you all have that I want.
You have love
You have attention
You have safety from your mind
You don't plan your every move anticipating a response of any kind
You don’t rule your life based on guessed expectations.
Jealousy and Envy
Misunderstood
Misused
Both toxic and poisonous
One more than the other
