Behind Her Eyes

Poetry

Enough is never enough
What you don’t have is always enough
Until you get it, then it’s not enough

Coveting is contagious
Jealousy isn’t really that outrageous

We want what we don’t have
We don’t want what we do have

We are insane
We are vain
We are continually straying left to the wrong lane

Jealousy took out Abel
No, it wasn’t a fable
You see, the thoughts in our minds are often terrible
Which is why we must train ourselves not to be feeble

Complacency is murder
Murder is not just physical
Because it can also equate to the death of abstract happenings

What we seek, we may not need to find
So catch yourself before you run out of time
Because you don’t always get a second chance
Sometimes you only get one dance
