Green-eyed monster
Rears it's ugly head.
Those eyes
Seething
With contempt,
Trained
On his competition.
You-belong-to-only-me possessiveness
Betrays a stolid disposition.
His lover
And his pride
On the line.
The rope of emotional restraint,
Gradually slipping from grasp.
Pangs of intense anger,
Arrested;
A molten lava
Close to
Violently erupting.
Paranoia
Geysers upward.
Tentacles of insecurity
Steadfastly hooked onto him.
His jealous thoughts
Racing
In nanoseconds.
