So I admit jealousy
so what?
Just because you can have what I want
gives you no right to encounter me silently.
I hate that I can't warn you
because of this human feeling I have
towards whatever pain you're feeling.
Emotional?
physical..
matters not, for I tire of standing in understanding.
What dreams I have of not caring
what dainty dishes of hopes I have
that you will one day be unblinded
and release what I now feel belongs to me.
And what shame have I, for wanting such
and what disgust I have for needing to have shame.
You unearth the worst of desires within my heart
and I don't think it needs to be said
how much I cannot bear the thought of you sometimes.
yes, jealousy
let us ponder it for a while
and how it makes me angry
that you have something I want.
And if you're reading this
thinking its about you
then you have issues to ponder
things to question
but don't dare speak silently of me
for I will hear your voice eventually.
So designate whatever thoughts you wish for me
and I will continue to struggle.
but I don't need your concern
for it is my battle
and if what is yours was meant to be yours
you'll be able to hold it
without keeping it captive
and so far
you've only kept it captive with guilty manipulations
for I have seen these things used.
Don't think I don't recognize you, Lady
A part of me was once you.
I may be young
but I am, by no means, unaware or stupid..
and you aren't either..
are you?

Everyone has someone they'd like to slam in public!!!!!!!  I thought this was just about poetry!

Not to worry..I'm not blasting anyone here.

Thanks for reading everyone!

And this really isn't a metaphor..its simply dealing with jealousy, missing someone, and then conflicting disgust with myself for behaving this way. It is about exactly what it says..nothing more.

Marya:
no, this site isn't just about poetry. Here, we interact, form close friendships, relationships...we do not however, 'slam' our members.

Yes, we can express hurt, pain and anger, but hateful poetry that insults or abuses a person - even if no names are mentioned - is always watched closely.

Thanks

But oh how poetic your words are. This is a beautiful piece, and touches the very heart of how you truly feel. To vent such emotions in such a magnanimously eloquent writing is a statement of your expertise. I love to see purest emotions described in detail in prose. Great job, and likewise great job of not "slamming". Indeed sometimes the hurt does enrage the heart to defense. When it is a real emotion, it is sanctioned by the soul, and not just an excuse to attack. Well done!
