I stare out <br />Into his face <br />As he talks to her <br />As he laughs with her <br />As he sits content to be with her <br />Jealousy boils <br />Deep within me <br /> <br />But I feel no real shock <br />For I’d already noticed <br />Her prettiness <br />Her great personality <br />And how <br />Even as I sat <br />With jealousy tearing away at me <br />Her jokes still managed <br /> To make me laugh <br /> <br />So as I stared <br />At his glowing face <br />My heart broke <br />For even though <br />Deep inside me <br />I knew <br />That I wasn’t <br />EVER <br />Good enough for him <br />My heart still had <br />Wished <br />Dreamed <br />And hoped <br />That he would look at me <br />The same way he was looking at her <br /> <br />She sits there <br />So beautiful <br />With her blazing red hair <br /> Slightly lifting in the breeze <br />Unconsciously <br />I touch my own hair <br />And feel disgusted by its shortness <br />By its plainness <br /> <br />Jealousy tears my soul up <br />It eats at me <br />Never letting its hold loosen <br />I cringe <br />But the smile stays on my face <br />For if I let my smile vanish <br />Nothing would keep my true feelings <br /> From surfacing <br /> <br />So I sit there <br />Afraid to leave them alone <br />Afraid to let their talk expand <br />Afraid to let my jealousy <br />Explode from me <br /> <br />For if it did <br />Nothing could keep me <br />From choking her <br />Until all the air <br />In her pretty little body <br />Left<br /><br />Meshellae Payne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jealousy-63/
