Green

 Red hot

Like fire dancing about

In the dark night

Rustling, crackling, snapping

..Whooshing and hissing.

Surrounded by spectators

All unaware of how hot

Hot really is..

..my anger grew.

I watched from afar

Playing the fool

Unaware of the blatant disrespect

You showed me..daily.

Keenly I watched you,

Memorised your schedule,

Got familiar

With all your hideouts

And planned my

Eventual ambush.

Blue.

The boring kind of blue

The kind that you see 

Just before dark clouds

Engulf the sky

On a rainy day..

A pale and dull hue.

That's how my insides felt constantly

For a long time..that is

Before I came up 

With my master plan

On that day,

You met as you usually do

Laughed n joked about 

What a fool

I must be..for not knowing about this

You ate n made merry

N you gave her all that belonged to me.

I waited till you fell asleep,

Snuck into the house

N slipped something in her drink

Then quietly,

Disappeared into the alley.

She took a tiny sip

Then went back to sleep.

You held her even tighter

Than you had before..but

In the morning,

You were alone..All wrapped up 

But on your own

Her lifeless body

Lying next to you.

You tried to defend yourself

Against the angry mob

But they wouldn't listen

N now you get to spend

The rest of your life in prison.

I visit you often.

I derive satisfaction from it.

The way your back aches

From all the hard labor

You endure everyday

N your chipped feet

N the fact that I can see your bones

Right through your skin.

You know it's me

You curse me daily

N you regret the day

You ever made me

Green with jealousy.
