Green-Eyed Monster
Moments like this,
I don't like myself
if I could I would pretend
I don't know myself
Why do I allow this ugly flaw
to sometimes rule my life
allow it to steal precious moments,
moments I'll never get back..
I hate who I become
when the green-eyed monster
rear it's ugly head,
I cut myself
off from everything
and everyone
because who knows
how they'll react?
My silence
says it all
it's like wearing
a danger sign around my neck
"keep away, hazardous terrain"
Like a flash, it's gone
into nowhere until the next time…
My silent prayer?
Please, please stay away
because you're one companion
I can definitely live without…
