Jealousy

They call her green 
Her eyes are mean
She’s blowing steam
She comes on scene

This type of weakness
Is of some uniqueness
Devoid of any sweetness
Absent of any neatness

Inadequate tendencies
Personal discrepancies 
She can lack maturity
It’s a seething insecurity

The Envious desire
Can quickly catch fire
The drama’s quite dressy
It can make life quite messy

When desire’s the goal
You’ll fall in this hole
And it will take its toll
As It feeds on your soul
