Jealousy

There he was sitting in the corner.
Destain and hatred masked his face.
In screams of agony the anger grew.
Until it became embedded into him.

A like of this feeling occurred.
It became a passion.
A phenomenon to the eye.
Although the burning sensation that fueled him,
Finally faded away.

The walls surrounding him, choking him,
Disappeared and to his relief,
The light was victorious over the darkness that controlled him.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
