Jealousy

Jealously's a you-know-what

I hate her with a passionate rage

My heart barely harbors this feeling

But every emotion has a stage

 

Jealousy should go away now

No one loves her, she's uncool

She just makes me look bad

I let her use me like a tool

 

Jealousy is the ugliest of all

She lurks in my mind until I break

Her clammy hands suffocate my heart

I end up giving what she wants to take

 

Jealousy lives everywhere

She's a million places at a time

Toss her in the fire, my dear

Just wait, and out she'll climb

 

Jealousy is the only one I truly hate

She's ruined perfectly good days

Get lost, you stupid imposter!

You're always misleading our ways!

 

Jealousy reeks of insecurity

Hungry and scared like a forgotten pet

But Jealousy doesn't play nicely

She just builds and builds regret

 

Jealousy is always hiding

You never know where she might be

Keep an eye on your heart and mind

She's always looking for another lost key.
