Jealousy

 

 

My mind is boiling over, filled with thoughts

I keep trying, trying to pick up the pieces, all for naught

I really like you, but you don’t seem to care, do you?

You have her, so why shouldn’t you bid me adieu?

I thought I made it clear. How the hell are you so oblivious?

But wait, how do I know you’re not being lascivious?

How do I know you’re not just another creep from the streets?

Or that, if we finally get together, you won’t cheat?

Oh, who am I kidding, you’re perfect

You’re no more hideous, than I am a sales rack reject

There’s no point in me trying to find any flaws in you

You’re with her, and that’s how it should stay,

After all, the only song life was meant to play

For me is the one that’s forever blue.

I did like it! This was a very emotional, very well-written piece. Yet again:)

We've all been jealous before :/ and it's just plain yucky, for lack of a better word at the moment. It's something that you can only try to talk out, or just let it take it's course. You probably know what I'll say next; message me if you need to :)

This is great I especially like the ambivalence and eventual sadness at the end.

[Bridget Mcmaken]

AWESOME POEM!! it flows well. Another one of my fav piece of work from you.

[Legion]

I like the rhyme scheme in this. I think you should branch out into other topics as well. Spread your wings a bit in other words and see what else you can do.

I love it!! (: I love how it goes from wanting to saying whatever, I don't need you. =)

[SamBug]

This was really good. I agree with Kayla. A lot of readers can relate to it which is what makes it all the better!

[Kat Plunkett]

this is really good. alot of us readers can relate to it.

[Kelly Taylor]

This is power-packed with emotion that anybody can relate too (Lord knows I can, anyways). I especially liked the last two lines and the sadness it conveyed, adding to the overall feel of the poem.

Interesting read here, i like it, it is very well expressed

[Coyote Poetry]

We always want what we can't have. Sometime if the wish come true. The victory isn't so sweet. I like the story and the knowing there is only disappointment in this dream. A excellent poem.
