Envy's Embrace

Envy's Embrace

A new sense of danger has arrived

There was an alarm ringing in my heart

It must have taken me by surprise

A fairly silver chain around my neck

And the green eyes that catch your glimpse

While the rain pours on your sacred purity

I tried to remember why I crashed–

Into your sweet custard daydreams

In this card, I must tell you

All the things I’ve yet to say

So, miss, if I may:

Would you take this impulsive chance?

Or would you leave it behind–

And let it fade to green?
