Jealousy
It burns up inside of me,
like it's trying to take control.

I try to turn away,
but the sight of her hands on you
is engraved in my brain.

You smile at her while she flips her hair.
It consumes ny body now.

I burn with anger,
my face wet with tears.
She touches you while all you do
is stand there.

I can't take it anymore.
Like a match that's been striken,
I go off.

The jealousy got to me,
it had won.
But at this point it was too late,
for you were already gone.
