Little Green Monster, Jealousy

Surprising what one little comment to someone else can do. I swear I don't know what to do with this emotion

This little green monster keeps scratching at my throat

Screaming "Let me out!" and taunting at my heart

I hate it so much, why has it appeared

It's started to take my composure and tear it apart

I don't understand this, what is this feeling

I don't want anyone else remotely near you

I want to protect you, to call you mine

It's driving me to insanity, ain't that so true

Just look at me and notice me, I want to be heard

Even though I know everything is stuck behind my tongue

I've talked to you time and time again now

But when I see you talking to someone else

It gets to me, it screams at me, I swear I don't mean that

I couldn't tell you what I think when it gets down to it

It's choking my words and tossing them, throwing them around

I know I don't mean half of what I think, but still it lays in my mind

I've been bitten, I swear, bitten!

Seriously this isn't fun

It's sitting on my shoulders and I just want to be done

I get that stupid pang, every time I see something not to me

Please mind, oh quit it, he's not even mine, let me be free!

And I know he doesn't know this

What exactly I'm struggling to battle

How far my mind must go to block off ugly thoughts

It sits upon my heart, this heavy weight of jealousy

I hope he doesn't see it, it's no source of glee

Jealousy, oh jealousy, please leave me be

You're that little green monster, always so green

Greedy you are, I don't get what you make me feel

Makes me turn back my mind, no it can't be real

I'm not supposed to feel this, I'll shut it off right now

Jealousy, I know you're out for me, I'll keep my eye out

But, I'll just let him go so you can disappear

Author's Note

So confusing, does anyone have any tips how to get rid of this ?

I've been able to relate to this many times in my life and always it's hard to get that green monster of jealousy to go take a vacation. In my experience, It usually shows up when I see someone doing something with another that I know might not be a good influence or could possible backfire. It's frustrating to see a person you care about or like fall pray to someone when you know that you might be a better person for them.
In the end it usually calls for one of three actions to be taken. One could take the wheel of fate and chance and be blunt and let the person know what your feeling, but that might not work, or it might. Or one could simply say the heck with it and stop associating with the one that they are worried about, but that's kinda a cop out. The last and most successful that I've found is to agree to disagree with your own emotions and feelings and simply make yourself a promise that your going to be the best friend you can be to that person in question and if things are meant to be, then things will work out for the better. In any case, just always believe in yourself.
