Jealousy

08/05/2020 - Iso Well-Being Compilation

 

You steal the time I should have

Sitting by his side.

He laps up your attention but

It eats away at my pride.

 

I see how he looks at you –

I should be the object of his gaze.

He hangs off every word of yours

As if a magical turn of phrase.

 

Your touch lingers on his arm

But he doesn’t pull away.

I want to yell and scream for it to stop

But there’s nothing I can say.

 

His prime but a memory,

He is entranced by your youth.

You play to his maturity –

Men your own age so uncouth.

 

I want to scrub his mind of your visage,

Replace it with my own;

Tell him of how I feel,

How the love I have has grown.

 

But would I admit this feeling,

This green-eyed monster in me,

That claws at my heart strings

And is clear for all to see?
