The Dance of Jealously

Beware, do not learn the dance
of jealousy, do not chance
being fatally impaled 
with the tip of your own lance.

Jealousy is such a liar,
meant to set your heart on fire;
it will steal your sweet lover,
put you knee-deep into mire.

Please listen attentively to me,
jealousy is never meant to be
the definer of romantic bliss;
dance the dance of purest love, I plead.
