You've finally caught me. We've raced for years, but never touched. Your sister, envy, had grazed my cheeks every now and again, but you're far more devious. You don't burn like her, you sour; your energy collides, collapses, into a bitter liquid. As soon as we met, I wanted to escape, but your mischevious glint held me, and every thought against my will sprouted forth. You infected me. You took my rational mind and crushed it, you twisted my trust, tainted my love, and now I have to face you. You're not like your sister, and I'll be ****** to let you stay, craddling me like a small child, listening to your fallacious tales. I'm better than that, so the next time you see me, tell you and your sister goodbye.

Jealousy
You've finally caught me. We've raced for years, but never touched. Your sister, envy, had grazed my cheeks every now and again, but you're far more devious. You don't burn like her, you sour; your energy collides, collapses, into a bitter liquid. As soon as we met, I wanted to escape, but your mischevious glint held me, and every thought against my will sprouted forth. You infected me. You took my rational mind and crushed it, you twisted my trust, tainted my love, and now I have to face you. You're not like your sister, and I'll be ****** to let you stay, craddling me like a small child, listening to your fallacious tales. I'm better than that, so the next time you see me, tell you and your sister goodbye.
I forgot what jealousy felt like, and it hit me. Haven't had a prominent feeling like this in years. I'm determined to keep it at bay, it's too vile to let loose.
