My Jealousy

Picture by ~khepria

Stranger’s eyes, a colleague’s smile
Spending time with a friend for a while
Of the bed I sleep on he is covetous
Even of the air I breathe he is desirous
Toremented from within, he is so green-eyed
A secret he could keep no longer inside
He confesses ‘You know you are now mine
The possibility of harm coming your way sends a shiver down my spine
Powerless to its command, Lost in its mêlée
I love you and with that, comes my jealousy’
