53. Envy

By Rose Strailo

It’s a greasy, disgusting feeling, making me want to scrub at my skin until it’s red and raw. It makes me see red as I watch them flirt with each other, smiling brightly and happily. They are so in love it’s disgusting. It makes me wrench even as I feel it slip into my heart.
I want what they have, and I want it now. I want to be the one pushing his hair out of his face with a loving hand. I want to be the one that was looked at like I was the best person in the world. I wanted that love to be directed at me.
I want it and I can feel the greasy, disgusting feeling amplify and make me rub at my skin.
