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 :)

Very interesting. It told more of a story than showing the emotions of those who feel they're jealous. Very good job indeed. A different way of looking at envy.
