Jealousy

dark and deep
he lays asleep
dormant and weak
I haven’t noticed him speak.

invincible
sublime
a fiery river of emotion
extending
bridging
growing in motion of time.

he burned my heart
in the furnace of crime
sending essence of
corruption
that clouds my mind.

thus,

I cry
a battle cry song
that burned us
Both of us.
leaving smokes
of regrets
of pain.

I fall.

I lose.

alone.
