An insecure man

Jealousy the sign of an insecure man
An emotion of which I am not proud
Hangs over me like an ugly dark cloud 
I will control this; I know that I can

Nothing I can say will make you believe
My emotions took over Jealousy raged
An emotion that seems like a never-ending page
My heart is now broken that you might leave

You told me you loved me as a dear friend
Those words warmed deep inside
Made me smile I could not hide
This feeling I will carry to Xfinity’s end

Hi Henneth! Mabuth sexes have insecurities that manifest the same, The problem is that we turn people away when we do this. We don’t own anybody and nobody owns us.. Both women and men have it and yes, they get jealous when someone leaves or finds another mate it is a pain in the butt. But I think it’s very normal when a friend stabbed you in the back to feel pain. To me that’s totally normal.. I don’t like it, but it does? There is a saying… love. many trust few! Great poem.Pangie
