jealousy
the eyes, the eyes they stare
they stare afar, afar at a feared future

they're running off, running off again,
the treasures held close
they will abandon you again

your eyes, your eyes dart away
someone else has seized the gaze of heaven
while not even hell gives you a second glance

the possibilities, the hopes
the things we all fear, to see those close
happy,
with another instead

the pang, the sting of guilt
the incomprehensible anger,

the eyes, the eyes are narrow
they scrunch, and are dried by anger
they peer, and work and work,

hoping, one day their persistence
will reward them with heavens gaze
