Invidia (Envy)

Twisting and weaving, the glorious creeper, grew up the side of my wall
A home it had found rich fertile ground
Glossy green leaves, dew drenched the seeds. Killed all others that lay where they fall

Rich vibrant petals, the heady sweet smell, deadened the air with its weight
My tiny weak saplings no strength to survive. Lay dormant and stunned in its wake
Twisting and weaving, the glorious creature, grew into my good life

A home she had found our rich fertile ground. Dazzling her smile. Fooled us all for a while
Rich vibrant colours, her heady sweet smell, deadened our air with its weight
My tiny frail ego no strength for a fight. Struggled through days and hated most nights

What did she want? What did she need?
A friend in me? Or my man for her greed?
Her ready laugh, and agile wit. How could he ever be strong to resist?

One fine day, the rain washed away, her varnish her soul lay exposed
Her chocolate box eyes hid a veil of despise. The glossy veneer hid a gut full of fear

Decaying and drying, the demonic creature, shrivelled away from my life
A home she had found. Barren lost ground. A soul in unrest a life full of mess

Twisting and weaving, the glorious creeper, grew up the side of my wall
A home it had found rich fertile ground
Glossy green leaves, dew drenched the seeds. Grew healthy and proud for us all
