Jealousy

Don't let it consume you!

By Jack Wayne ArnettPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
She's mine!

I got something to contemplate.

I look and see things that I am not.

Stomach engrossed in knots as a twisted demise comes to mind.

Seething in hate,

I have no one else to emulate.

Quietly building a fever pitch,

the love wanes on a wires edge.

Who do I blame?

Myself, him or even her for even giving him the slightest gaze?

It´s all a daze through the haze of jealousy.

A end of reason, there is making it end.

The treason, it must be her!

Wait… it´s me! He means nothing to her!

No… it´s him!

he must burn and feel the wrath of my love!

How dare he intrude!

Has he no clue?!

Sanity goes, my mind a wreck.

I must forget this or I´ll go insane I tell myself!

But I cannot.

Consumed in thoughts of malice.

I´m sure it soon will pass.
