My Poetry

Jealousy

What is this bitter emotion overtaking my mind?
Whence comes all this passionate regret?
Wherefore am I tormented by pain thus defined;
The loss of those days before we met?

Though I began this so indifferent to your past,
I now pine for more time than is mine.
Each day and its distance aches even more than the last;
Jealousy poisons like bitter wine.

I victimise myself through consuming obsession,
I'm dying to give you everything;
While you and no other possess all my affection,
Sometimes the chasm leaves me drowning.

I achingly crave a peace only the past can give
Despairing at fewer years with you
I'm terrified that you will leave me behind to live
A life for one that was meant for two
