Gary Smith Poet Couplet

The Green Eyed Monster

I hearkened to my better side, it bade me make amends,
For if not what was there, would then forever end.

A bitter mistress jealousy, my mind could hardly cope,
Thinking only of myself, harsh were those words I spoke.

Unfounded were my utterings, I had spoken like a child,
'Twas love that had unsettled me, my mind ran fast and wild.

But my love, she took me back she listened to my plea,
It was my undying love for her that stirred my jealousy.

I am not the first of many fools who love leaves insecure,
But let not the green eyed monster, sully what is pure.
