Jealousy Poem by May N

you hold her close, play with her hair
you laugh and smile, so happy in her arms
as i watch, i writhe in pain of restraint
wanting to scream and hurt you

you glance over and look, something's in your eyes
taunting me with your happiness with her
the one i may never feel, you will never share
and i stand, green-eyed with envy at your content

every second i look at you, a wave of emotions flood
torturing me to my deep dark core
till there is no surface that is not hurt by you
my whole body trembles with this awful pain

wanting to be that girl you held so close
that girl you loved so deeply, so unconditionally
the one so free of this unbearble green pain
the one who shared your happiness with you

won't you come back?
