The Eyes of Envy

Chartreuse with envy

In your shadow I walk

You're the toast of the town 

The whole world will talk 

Fame and fortune bound

And well on your way 

Your star will shine on 

While I waste away

This one resonates so with me. I once had an affair with a young lady who was quite the local celebrity. Poor, pitiful me. Glad that ended, believe me!
