Jealousy is my angry little sister That bites when she feels threatened Her eyes glow brighter Fluorescent fangs of emerald That drip disenchantment She asks all the questions That don’t demand answers I’ve learned to hold her hand Let her have her moment Be seen and felt She is nothing but love Misrepresented
I washed up on your island To pick you clean All your inspirational bits Scattered seashells Ripe for gathering Souvenir daydreams I will dance in the shadows Of your bonfire mornings And after I turn over Each grain of sand The tide will inevitably Sweep me away On a sweet sea breeze I’d rather float in that abyss Than drown in an ocean Made of my own tears Did I wash up on your island Or did you find yourself on mine It makes no difference The beach here feels divine
