Jealousy
Jealousy has a way of speaking,
As if the love of the game is their keeping,
Plots and schemes to gain their rewards,
The benefits are false, the intentions not pure,
They'll enjoy the time they feel on top,
Until there is nothing left, and the attention stops,
A foundation built upon spying eyes,
To feed their hungry, jealous lies,
When truth is revealed, and love breaks the cycle,
Jealousy tries to squirm it's way in to create more trouble,
Stand back, love, let jealousy take the floor,
It will fade in due time, love always reveals itself more,
The heart knows and sees without words to convey,
And the truth of that love always stays,
