What's the Use of Envy

taken with envy
the soft petals of a rose
holds itself a hedge 
where its complimenting thorns
remain embraced in flawed hands

Thank you Vickey, so glad for the comment, I very much appreciate it, It's definitely an emotion I have felt before, and it is a destructive emotion I agree. :)
