Envy.

That sad dancer with her waxen bones
With her gossip lips
With her candled pose
A caricature in liquor
A portrait in wine
A ribbon of raindrops on a silken bow tie

A top hat at the disco
A scarecrow on the train
The velveteen pinstripes on a poisonous page
A skeleton on the carousel
A china doll sits in waste
Mannequin smiles are a puzzle of fate

Kissing boys with no lips
Spun the notes with no song
The piano plays but the guests are long gone
A shiver ripens in malice
A sparkle blesses the sun
The music box spills her tune to a cradle of none

Charity withers and greed will prevail
The shadow of roses on fate's bridal veil
Haunted daydreams dance at a masquerade ball
Neon starlight laces the chandeliered hall
The devil sprinkles sin on Envy's wedding cake
The wickedest lives are the hardest to take
