Begrudged

Do I hate you?

No. I do.

Am I jealous?

Yes. I’m not.

Can you give me?

No. You can.

Will it hurt?

No. Quite a lot.

Do I want all that is yours?

Yes, I don’t. This much is true.

Will I sweat it just to get it?

Should I, must I be like you?

Tempt me to begrudge your title.

Tease me to the point of shame.

When we both are gone, forgotten,

Who is left to speak our name?
