*><*
It started out as a little thing
that emotion that she felt
That * thing * she felt tightening its grip
as if it were a tight belt

She found her suspicions were getting stronger
as each day rolled around
Jealousy started consuming her every thought
pushing all else out, she found

It seemed the love she had once known
was getting pushed farther away
Taking its place in her heart was this demon
possessing her more each day

Then all these thoughts of revenge
started taking over her mind
She pushed her feelings of love away
to conjure up all the hate she could find

She tried her best not to think of
the love they had once shared
Or how he said he still loved her
and she was the only one for which he cared

She wanted to make him suffer
and see his heart to break
So every opportunity she could find
the chance to do she would take

Until the beautiful love they had shared
was nowhere to be found
Her jealousy that started out so small
made hate the only emotion around

This jealousy that now consumed her
which was unfounded and untrue
Had taken over her mind completely
forcing her to do the deeds she would do

Those deeds before now she never thought of
in all the days of her life
Were now being performed by her
this jealous green-eyed monster of strife

So many lessons to be learned here, and words spoken that we should all heed. Jealousy is probably the #1 killer of good relationships. Loved how you did this...~V~

You say it powerfully, dear Ethel! Jealousy kills love, but who can say that he or she has never known its devastating power creeping inside? May we learn ...
You developed the theme excellently.
Love, Margherita

I really thank all of you for reading my little challenge poem. As you all know, the challenge was to write something completely out of the ordinary for us.....and this was certainly out of the ordinary for me.

It was definitely a challenge, because I try very hard not to be like the kind of person I wrote about in this poem.

I appreciate all of you.

Hugs
