Jealousy

A green, one-eyed monster will rear its head Taking from love because it must be fed Always suspicious and casting about Trying to find reason and feasting on doubt It has become rampant and must be beaten back It can kill love with an all-consuming attack Left to reek havoc on a gentle heart Allowing it to live isn’t very smart Put jealousy aside because it has no place In love’s golden moments, leaving no trace Letting in trust and tenderness instead of malice A love that is untarnished and a heart uncallused
