Jealousy
My jealousy broods a colored hue
Awash in love's torment
As I feed the green-eyed-monster
To make bold such discontent.
Happiness holds no measure
In a world past its prime.
I will smell no summer roses.
I will drink no summer wine.
I ignore my many blessings
As obsession demands a sacrifice.
I mourn not the good that fades away.
I will pay the highest price.
There are easier ways to live...
I know this to be true
But jealousy is the tyrant...
I've hitched my wagon to.
The End
