Envy ~ #poetry by @Tashtoo

She is beautiful, almost regal
tall, confident
I envy her
not knowing
the perfect makeup
hides the still swelling bruises
from last nights lesson.

He drives a Lexus
Pearl black
moon roof, spoiler
I envy him
not knowing
there's a white notice
taped to the door of his high rise
that will have him driving that Lexus off a cliff
Into a desperate night
well before the coming dawn.

He looks at her
I see the love
I envy them
Not knowing
he will look at another the same way
before he lands home for the supper
she's sprinkled with her heart.

I look in the mirror.
and hate myself
for being so quick to judge.
