Jealousy

The eerie silence fills my mind Shattering my thoughts Glazing my eyes Trapping me in a world of rage I feel the rippling anger in my veins The floods of jealousy raining into my body Taking control Throwing me into a sea of rage My fists clench into balls of fury My temples throb with the fires of pain The pain of insecurity Insecurity, the driver of my rage Tears bleed from my eyes Excruciating screams echo inside me Creating a brutal whirlwind inside me Ravaging destruction in my heart Time ceases to exist The feelings vanish Evaporating through my skin Leaving me void Shadows of shame encircle me Pulling me down Wolves of guilt gnawing Preying on my jealousy My guilt and shame cripples me Forcing me to surrender Completely surrender Surrender, to acceptance My tears paint burning lines down my cheeks Guilt, anger and shame running through my veins But jealousy The core of my pain
