"Envy"

One last stolen kiss placed upon your lips
Warmth slowly draining the pink away
I hold your fading body in my arms
And all I feel is envy for your strength
I wanted to follow wherever you lead me
But once again I faltered in my path
I could almost see the faint smile upon your lips
A fleeting hint of disappointment laced with understanding
And once again I feel that envy of your hope
An empty promise that kept you bound to me always
Even though we both knew that I would always fail you
I couldn't bring myself to follow you to the end
And now there are no tears, or even lingering regret
All I can feel is envy for your freedom.
