Your Jealousy Gives Me Hope

Please stop getting upset, having attitudes, and being angry when
We walk in the room.  When I’m still missing you and trying to cope.  It’s your Jealousy that gives me hope.

I see how you look at me when I’m with him
I see your anger as I kiss him
Your Jealousy has a voice, and I know I made my choice
Trying to hurt you, I hurt myself more, and hung myself with my own rope. It’s your jealousy that gives me hope

Yes, this is a hard lesson to learn, especially when my passion 
still burns.  It’s not your smile, not your swag, not even the pain in your eyes
It’s your jealousy that gives me hope!!!!
