Jealousy Poem by Tygrr Robertson

Jealousy striking me in the strangest of ways
I know I should trust but it preys and preys and preys
Knowing I should abandon all of these thoughts
Worst case scenarios my brain plots and plots and plots

Tell tale signs get me to thinking
Next thing you know I’m clawing at the ceiling
Green eyed monster won’t you let me be?
Can you not see the weight that I already carry?

All I can do is stand by and see
I refuse to let you get the better of me
I make a phone call restraint to make accusations
Resolute to avoid my inner contemplations

All I could want is you there by my side
You’re the only one that I wish to confide
I know you want this time to make your life better
Look in your heart and see we could do it together
