Envy

by Peter Williams   May 16, 2005


Where did the time go?
What happened to the laughter?
What happened to the joy?
What happened to me?
My life was boring....
I was happy...
I was content...
But I wished for more.
Where did my happiness go?
What happened to the sunshine?
Now it is dark with no light piercing through the cloudy sky.
I wasn't looking for love.
I didn't want these feelings.
I just wanted to be happy...
I just wanted to be loved.
Was that so much to ask?
I've always been alone...
But now it begins to poison me.
Why am I alone?
Don't I deserve to be with someone?
Someone I love.
He...
He complains about everything.
He whines.
He cries.
And he doesn't care who sees it.
He gets everything he wants.
He is my best friend.
I...
I never complain.
I don't whine.
I cry in the shadows where no one can see my tears...
Out of sight and out of mind.
And no one bothers to care.
I'm left with nothing.
If I were to begin to whine...
I'd get even more taken from me.
If he continues...
He gets everything.
I envy him.
I envy his luck.
I envy his love.
I envy...
No one understands...
Or could possibly understand.
That's why I'm alone...
I will always be alone.
Where did my happiness go?
What happened to my life?
I just wanted to be happy...
I just wanted to be loved.
He never asked for it,
But he whined,
He cried.
Then he got love...
Then he got happiness.
I envy him.
I envy...
