Jealousy, a serpent's tongue,

Coiled within, where shadows throng.

Its envious gaze, a poisonous art,

Tainting love's canvas, tearing hearts apart.

A tempest's rage, in eyes once kind,

Now jealousy's storm, unkindly bind.

In darkest corners, it lies in wait,

A festering seed of envy and hate.

Bitterness blooms, like a withering flower,

As souls entangle in jealousy's power.

Comparison's dagger, it wields with might,

Dimming the stars, obscuring the light.

But amidst the darkness, hope shall rise,

Love's courage soaring in clear blue skies.

With empathy's touch, jealousy shall fade,

And trust and faith, once more cascade.

Let not jealousy, this story define,

But the triumph of hearts, where love aligns.

For in the warmth of love's embrace,

Jealousy shall vanish without a trace.

Through empathy and compassion's call,

Jealousy's grasp, we shall forestall.

In unity and grace, we'll find our way,

To a love that's pure, day after day.

So let us choose, to rise above,

Embrace the power of endless love.

In jealousy's wake, we'll learn and grow,

United hearts, an eternal glow.
