I lurk in the corners of your heart, Speaking in whispers, softly incessant; Slowly, and surely, I'll tear you apart, As for the unattainable, you hunt.
Silken touches that caresses your soul, Honeyed suggestions, impossible to ignore; Whatever you do, you can't plug the hole, However much you get, you hunger for more.
Always craving for what others have, Never pleased with your lot in life; Willingly you turn into my knave, Spending your time in eternal strife.
I awaken in you, unquenchable desire; Then draining you out, set you on fire.
One of seven, Vanity's good friend, She makes you proud of what you earn; Yet, into black depths, you'll descend, As I fill your heart with that familiar burn.
Peace, you'll never have, eternal is your distress, Though you've been warned, you never heed; There's never an end for your need to possess, When you welcome me, you also invite Greed.
You covet neighbours, friends and family too, You'd steal from a babe, not caring a dime; Craving, wanting, yearning, that's all you do, It's an urge that doesn't wane with time.
I will empty you out, set you aflame; Then you'd know me, Envy is my name.
