In the shadows of a heart, envy finds its place,
A whisper soft, a hidden trace,
It coils around the dreams we weave,
A serpent’s hiss, a silent thief.

The green-eyed monster feeds on fear,
With every glance, it draws us near,
Consuming joy, it leaves a void,
A hollow space, a spirit destroyed.

Beneath the surface, it festers deep,
In sleepless nights, it haunts our sleep,
A yearning for what others claim,
A fire that burns without a name.

But in the light, it cannot thrive,
For love and kindness keep it deprived,
To vanquish envy, we must see,
The beauty in our own destiny.
