They say the envious will have their vying eyes wired shut, and their lips sealed like empty sepulchers. And yet, in spite of this, I think I’ll covet you until the end of my days For if I cannot look upon your face and feel it { mine }                                                                                  I’d rather not see And if I cannot say your name, and taste my { claim }                                                                                  I’d rather not speak. Covetous? Perhaps Envious? Always.

{ Covetous }
They say the envious will have their vying eyes wired shut, and their lips sealed like empty sepulchers. And yet, in spite of this, I think I’ll covet you until the end of my days For if I cannot look upon your face and feel it { mine }                                                                                  I’d rather not see And if I cannot say your name, and taste my { claim }                                                                                  I’d rather not speak. Covetous? Perhaps Envious? Always.
