Envious Eyes

Envious eyes

spot perfectly paired hearts

loving as their evening endures.

 

These eyes go on seeing

what would continue seeming

to be the same pair of hearts again and again.

Wanting nothing from them,

but wishing to share in the joy.

 

But no comfort will come to put these eyes at ease.

For the beholder sees not

the beauty of the world that is presented especially for them.

 

Cursed by the pain of a thousand broken hearts,

these eyes shall forever be envious.
