I envy you
The me I’m not
The me I’ll never be

I envy him
Whoever he
May become to thee

I envy them
A faceless bunch
Who call on thee to leave

I envy not
The hurt that lies
Now, not so far beneath

I envy you
The most of all
Maligned Jealousy

So, envy me
And maybe then
It may turn to levity

I envy it
What was not lived
Resides in passing dream

I promise not
To envy you
If only, you'd envy me.
