jealousy

Jealousy is like an internal, burning fire,
A rage that gradually gets stronger,
The fire spreading into your brain,
And into your heart,
The fire burning your insides until it's raw,
The fire eating at your soul until there is nothing left,
Just this burning, consuming jealousy.
It burns and stings on the inside,
Destroying your inner self,
But the outside is not affected.
The fire spreads and takes over your thoughts,
And when the fire goes out,
The only thing left over is the
Ash covering every inch of your burnt,
Raw mind.
