Green Eye'd

Jealousy turned your dark hair red,
And there's malice in your music--
A strange and intoxicating tune,
The kind that breathes without words,
Because who needs words, anymore?
You can say anything you want,
And you do.

Picking apart the subtle (and not-so-subtle)
References, you leave a calling card
Of uncanny desperation--and it's almost funny
That you still care, that you still care enough
To write with rage, and the stark certainty
That was Othello's undoing.  But, are you
More sinned against than sinning?  A fuming heart
Does not a martyr make, and you've only fooled yourself
Into thinking that no one gets your game.
