My Enemy Is Jealousy

You are a spirit being,
feeding on people's desires.
making the wicked stronger,
and spreading it like fire.

You are a person
that wants what the other has,
you want to take it all by force;
while being consume by hate,
you would leave that person in despair;
while you wear the dark colors on your face.

You are a killer,
that would torture the other in an instant.
You just watch while they breakdown;
while you sit there an feel superior at last,
but in the end you became my greatest enemy;
who owns the dark side of unpredictable minds
in a thousand faces.

Yes jealousy is a destroyer of a strong relationship.
