Jealous Love

Sometimes they will build you up,
So they can break you down,
And when that someone's had enough,
They chew and spit you out...
It’s that jealous lover,
That you have to lose before,
You make a choice to find another,
To keep from loosing more...
Once you love a bleeding heart,
With hallowed space within,
You must be what fill's that part,
Or envy's made a friend...
And it will grow inside that place,
That's halfway to your soul,
Just so it can leave its trace,
To later take control...
And jealousy will hide their words,
With lies so they deny,
The reason that they caged this bird,
Was because they couldn’t fly...
