Misery dwells within this heart,
It was too perfect right from the start.
Petty jealousies will conquer and destroy,
All we hold dear, all our joy.

What we have is harmless enough,
Two kindred spirits fighting life's roughs.
A touchstone, a ray of hope in each other's day,
Now we are doomed to pay, pay, pay.

Is it so wrong for opposites to be friends?
Now petty jealousies wish to make ends.
Ooh look someone is happy, boy, that it isn't right,
I'll ruin it for them, I'll give 'em a fight.

I've never had this before,
Something so pure, fresh and clean,
No real ties, no pressures it's true,
Are they jealous of the beauty they've seen?

Nothing can come of these kindred united,
For a great distance seperates these loving hearts,
Those jealous know these realities,
But won't be happy 'til they rip it all apart.

I need some guidance, some wisdom here,
This all so confusing, brings on unshed tears,
What if I lose my comfort, my rock,
Then who will understand me and my fears.

We've been given such a gift he and I,
Something beautiful under a stormy, forbiding sky,
I pray it won't end, won't be sliced to ribbons,
This time I'm too selfish to be all forgiving...

< !signature-->

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

The last line struck me...and sometimes forgiveness must come with time. I understand this piece Isis, and I can relate. I have had these same feelings many times before and you have portrayed them wonderfully.

Thanks Jonas, the last line summs it up you are right, I won't be forgiving, I won't go out like a lamb, this time I'm fighting..  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

Oh god does this touch home. I know how you feel...I'm young but believe me I do. Jealousy is an ugly thing but some day they will either give up or they will come to understand...atleast a little. This is definately a fight worth your while...I'm very proud of you for not giving up...   *hugglez*

 Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Isis...this one hit home.  You are so very right.  Jealousy can rip a relationship apart at the seams.  We all need someone to turn to in time of trouble....hang on.  Maybe they'll understand.

Jealous is a green eyed monster for sure.  There are many decisions in life to make, I make two consciously whenever I can, not to be angry and never jealous.  I am not a jealous person myself.  But I have felt it's embrace once or twice I must admit.
I just want everyone to know jealousy never gets you anywhere, never gets what you want.
It usually has the reverse effect and severs the very bonds you are trying so valiantly to hold onto.
Thanks everyone, Lone Wolf, thanks, and welcome to the dark forum.  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.

Isis. . .

Don't let jealousies get in the way of what is here. . .we can make this work, we'll make them see. . . but what they think shouldn't stop us. . . we know what we have, and we know how things are. . .that should be all that matters. . .

I am here for you my kindred. . .
