Green Shadows

jealousy’s a strange thing isn’t it you’re fine one minute then bam you see someone with what you think you need and suddenly it’s there sitting heavy in your chest you tell yourself it’s no big deal it’s stupid even but still it creeps like a shadow you can’t outrun or heal maybe it’s the way they walk or how their voice carries like they belong maybe it’s their stupid confidence or the way everyone listens all along and you hate it don’t you hate how it twists you, makes you small angry at nothing, at all but what’s the point of it really it doesn’t change a thing it sits there eating you alive until you’re too tired to care about anything
