Lady of Envy

When in January he gave her a rose

I aked at you for a dandelion.

but you viciously laughed at me

and continued sipping on your wine.

 

When in February he wrote her a love letter

I cooked you a delicious meal.

Instead of savoring each bite of talent and work –

you devoured it and fell into the evening murk

 

When in March he was hit – mesmerized by her beauty,

I wore a graceful gown for you.

And when I asked you how I looked

You sighed alright, and went back to reading your book

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

 

And now in December when I am about to leave,

Why do you look at me so maliciously?

When you are the one who created me !

Who was once a lady of love, is now the lady of envy.
