The Green Eyed Monster
Why
be so green with envy?
What
is it that makes you so envious?
I
am living the dream, the dream held for many years
You
do not want it to happen, but it is too late to stop
You
can give me hell and the devil as much as you want
But
the green eyed monster within you will send you to the same place
He
loves the envious, those that hold the envy
Those
that have destroyed their own souls
Their
own happiness, their own joy
He
loves those that have lived without love
Without
a passion, a life without a soul
He
is in his bliss and joy
His
fire is burning he is stoking the fires for the Green Eyed Monsters
Of
this world and life
He
is rubbing his hands together
He
is cheering, he is taunting you
He
so loves you now!
The
devil has his door open waiting for you!
The
fire is stoked, hissing, crackling
His
visions of a mocking, scornful, sarcastic person
Morbidly
envious of family and friends
The
cutting the cut throat remarks
Oh
boy is he loving you all!
And
boy oh boy aren’t you dressed like the devil’s partner in crime!
He
is loving you; you are just like him all the way
So
what are you going to do?
Destroy
yourself or change the ways of
The
Green Eyed Monster
