Eyes in the Shadows

Whispers in the shadows, eyes that scrutinize

Jealousy’s a poison that sheathed beneath disguise

They smile and pretend, but it’s a game they play

Staring at your light, wishing you fade away

Family and friends, or so it seems

But watch their eyes, it’s a mirror of your dreams

Caught between love and suspicion’s blade

Trust bends, but it’s never truly safe

Dangerous minds, lurking behind

Jealous hearts, a threat concealed in kindness

Keep your guard, hold your ground

They’re watching close, waiting to knock you down

Feeling the tension, a silent war at play

Familiar faces flashing hues of grey

Outwardly close, inwardly competing

In the race for approval, they keep on cheating

Trust is fragile, slipping through your hands

The line is thin, between friend and foe’s dance

Dangerous minds, lurking behind

Jealous hearts, a threat concealed in kindness

Keep your guard, hold your ground

They’re watching close, waiting to knock you down

Stand tall, don’t let the shadows consume

Unveil the truth, beware whom you assume

Separate the love from the envy within

Pure hearts hold power, let your story begin

Be wary of the gaze, the smile that’s too tight

Surround yourself with those who see your light

Trust your instincts, guard your soul

In a world of jealous eyes, stay whole
