Jealousy

Like many things good intentions can often lead to strife
a white lie an embellishment the truth isn't always right
But honestly what I believe
is that Evil has a name
And darkness is just good intentions playing it's favorite game
Jealousy is one of those things it can motivate
And drive
But beneath its cover of inspiration
A poison truly lies
It festers like a infected wound
And taints a persons heart
To a place where happiness and joy
Will never begin nor start
jealousy can come in different shapes and forms
But the one that I know intimately
Is one that burns my core
The loss of time with someone
That another got to have
The pain in place of memories that you never made
Memories that they own with another in your place
But I know I need to leave this jealousy
Behind
for if I don't
The consequence is far from being kind
to lose you is my greatest fear
And now that I have you back
I will refuse to play jealousy's game
I give the reins some slack
I will no longer try to control
Something as beautiful
as what we have
But the jealousy that makes me nauseous
And plagues my nights with dreams
I'll attempt to leave today
It won't be as easy as it seems
And I'll try so very hard
But know these words as what they are
A very simple fact
Please listen closely my dear
...
I love you to the moon and back
This is something you must know
I'd be a fool
To let this taint our love to a place so low
The ash can drift away from here the black shall never stay
The charcoal that remains
I'll bury far away
I love you more than words can say
I refuse to pay the price
Of losing you because I can't
Escape this ridiculous vice
