Eyes of Envy

In their Eyes

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I walk the busy streets

In a dazey kind of haze

Watching dreamers,

Schemers pass me by

With envy in my eyes

Many times in life you find

A passion, talent idealized

It stops you still, absorbed in time

With envy in your eyes

It sparks your soul to try its hand

Against a world that understands

To grab ahold of men that fly

With envy in their eyes

And as your mind comes back to earth

Your naivety stolen, broken, hurt

You'll walk as I do down the street

In envy of their eyes
