James Howerton Poet Free verse

Blinded by jealousy

Blinded by jealousy 
you don't trust me.
You're too blind to see,
your suspicions
are unwarranted because
I am trustworthy.
But jealousy
rules your heart,
poisons your mind,
has brought confusion 
to your thoughts,
makes you see things 
that aren't there.
How can you say you
love someone,
then become a slave
to jealousy.
Don't you get it?
Jealousy means
you don't trust me,
and without trust
the foundation of love
is weakened.
Jealousy
is a deadly disease,
the infection destroying
us.
You're blinded by
jealousy.
