Doth Mock the Meat It Feeds On
Do you see that man on the right corner?
I know those eyes that look in many ways
See, How my Libran man flirts with that girl?
Oh, what is this nagging emotion I have?
Why can’t I take away my eyes from him?
Damn that he is now getting near to her.
I am a tigress but now purr like a cat.
Why? Why? How can he do that to her?
When I am here, his significant other.
Oh, those feasting and mesmerizing eyes
I know those eyes that look in many ways
Giving people different shades and faces.
I want him to my side for me instead
Oh, God! How strange do I feel inside?
Am I getting mean, angry and sad?
I understand now it is green jealousy.
Green signifies growth, health, happiness
On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy.
