Jealousy

Jealousy has invaded my body.

The feeling stronger than reason

Has made me suspicious of everybody.

It’s a strange sensation,

Envying others

Seeing you when I cannot,

Touching you when I cannot,

Kissing you when I cannot.

Sweet torture I inflict on myself

Knowing you are now with someone else,

Forgetting temporality,

Remembering technicality.

My breath escapes me

And my soul follows

What’s left behind

Is just sad and hollow.
