They say jealousy turned her green, Ugly and unusable, She snubs her nose at the world, Like the wicked witch she is, I say jealousy only added fuel to the fire, Of a young broken heart, She caught her lover of four years cheating, In bed with another dart, Those sheets contaminated with the sins of her beloved, that room only echoes his desire for another, Not she, The house reflecting loneliness, She wasn't good enough, Jealousy didn't turn her green, The world did, The tiny world she called her own, Thought her own, Two green eyes, Warm arms, And a steadfast laugh, He turned her green, When she use to be red, He died shortly after, No one quite knows why ;)
