Falling Deeper
January 11, 2010
Envy crawls through the dark city streets
Hand pressed against the glass
Eyes flashing with the ads
The words, “I want…,” floating in the air
The prospect of fame
The sweet burn of shame
The wishful wind blowing through his hair
The moneys warm glow
Front row seats for lifes new show
What you want isn’t always something you need
A familiar whisper in his ear
He takes it all despite the fear
As Envy gives way to Greed
