The look in his eyes
When he sees you.

That one special smile he shows
Only for you

Cuts me deeper than
A basilisk fang

And it burns
And I hope you feel the venom seeping out in these words.

If there's one thing I've learned,
Only wear your heart on short sleeves.

Makes it harder to come along
and cut out your heartstrings.

And I need
Someone who just wants to hold me.

Someone to come
chase away my lonely.

Open your ears,
Can't you hear that I'm green?

And I scream
Consumed by this senseless envy.

Patchwork stitching all
The scraps I have left of me.

Do you know what I see
When I look at you?

You're incredibly beautiful,
But aren't I beautiful, too?

If that's true,
Why the hell am I so ******* jealous of you?
A true story.
