Jealousy
Feelings of jealousy stem from insecurity,
Making us feel bound by infidelity.
It stirs in us feelings of great distress,
Thoughts consuming us, causing unrest.
Sometimes it’s a mere misunderstanding,
And when clarified, proves notwithstanding.
But when someone's words and actions diverge,
Doubt creeps in, emotions start to surge.
You hear one thing, yet their actions betray,
Leaving you confused, questioning the fray.
The stories they tell seem to acquit,
But their behavior casts shadows on it.
Betrayal and deceit, born from jealous thoughts,
A battle in your mind that can't be fought.
Questioning them, placing them on the spot,
Wondering if their honesty is all for naught.
When truth feels evasive, words seem uncouth,
Seeking actions that align with the supposed truth.
Defensiveness rises, emotions run high,
Actions contradict, leaving questions why.
Remember, jealousy’s root lies in insecurities,
Breeding feelings of obscure uncertainties.
Envy too can fuel this green-eyed beast,
Wishing for what others have, never feeling at peace.
Imagine being secure in heart and mind,
Free from regrets and doubts of any kind.
In a loving relationship, deeply secure,
Jealousy’s grip would lessen, that’s for sure.
Honesty and openness with your partner, pure,
No secrets hidden; trust will endure.
Make your lover your confidant, your best friend,
Such transparency ensures jealousy’s end.
Reflect on the blessings you already possess,
Let go of envy and learn to feel blessed.
Love what you have, cherish the now,
Jealousy fades when gratitude takes a bow.
Hope this helps all who read it,
And you’re jealous feelings are defeated.
