Handle With Care (Poetry)

A Jealous Lover's Hell

This jealousy is coursing,

Like acid through my veins.

I try to stop the flow.

But it burns like acid rain.

And I know that it is nothing.

just this organ called a heart.

For while you two get closer.

We fall and break apart.

But still I cannot help it.

When my feelings are this strong.

I try to fake it through though.

Because I know that this is wrong.

So I act like I'm her friend.

And show you I don't care.

When infact I'm just pretending.

Like the feelings just aren't there.

But every now and then.

The walls they crumble down.

And tears they fall like bullets.

Staining the cold ground.

And my heart it shatters like glass.

When it reflects an ugly face.

But the ugly face is mine.

And my heart an empty space.

For I gave you my whole world.

Piece by broken piece.

Only to realize that much later.

You re-gifted it with ease.

You gave my whole world to her.

Because my world it had been you.

You gave her all my love as well.

So that now she feels it too.

She feels what I once felt.

And continue now to feel.

As you urge her on with compliments.

Faking what was real.

But for now all that I'm feeling.

Is jealousy's toxic taste.

It fills my blood stream up.

With it's bitter awful waste.

It's poisoning my heart.

With it's viscious evil venom.

It's curled tounge it whispers.

To me, to go and get him.

But how can I go get?

What has long since been gone.

It should be telling me to get over.

To step back and to move on.

But jealousy is only,

A living lovers hell.

It whispers words of wisdom.

That no one dares to tell.

And it has it's grieving hands.

Wrapped tight around my heart.

For while you two get closer.

We fall and break apart.
