Why is it that we can be jealous of a thing we pushed away?
Is it because if I can't have it,
I don't want anyone to have it.
Let's call it,
Her.

Even though:
This jealousy is unfair;
To her,
To me.

I was jealous of pretty girls
I was  jealous of smart girls
I was jealous of the popular ones
I was jealous of the rich ones
Jealous of girls with a lover
Jealous of girls with a father.

Jealous cause I was
Unable to believe in myself
Unable to accept  myself
I wasn't happy with myself.

I used to be so insecure before,
But not anymore.

The jealous say we never talk
But they don't know
We do more than that
They mustn't know
What we sacrifice
What we celebrate
What we cherish
How we spoil each other
They shouldn't know
What we mean to each other
Love is our secret, and they'll hate to see it

My first
I still feel the thirst
My last?
I don't want this to past

Thoughts that make nonsense
Thinking hard
How will this make sense?
Turning words into art

Am I doing it right?
Do the standards making me look good?
I feel tight
In my eyes, this is all I could

Someone understand
I need a hand
Being dugged up by land...
I must take a stand!

Why is your attention is on her?
The shift from me to her was a rapid transfer.
The whole night you'd had your arm around my waist,
then you saw her and you left with such haste.
My mind started swimming, why her and not me?
Is she prettier, hotter, or was it because she's just plain easy?
I sat moping, in pure jealousy, casting unfair blame,
I tried to remind myself hurting me was not this girls aim.
The real blame belongs to you, for being a such a player.
You showed me this new side, so different from your outer layer.
Looking back I don't know why self doubt crept into my mind,
I am more than happy I left you behind.
Women are too quick to tear themselves down,
get lost in their heads and just shutdown.
Nowadays this is a problem far too big.
Ladies, don't hurt too much over a pig.

Hard to be honest with myself, but I still miss you
You're always getting inside my thoughts
I keep remembering the day you left, it still ****** me off
I tried so hard to keep us close
But I ended up with everything being lost
And I hate the fact that our paths always cross
Vegas is a small town, what else should I've expected?
Watching you with him looks like a god-made perfection
While I'm sitting here all alone
I just can't get rid of this jealous impression
I tell myself I'm moving on but hardly, all of this is depressing
Maybe I'm getting a little bit crazy
My friends have been begging me to come out of the house
It's funny when I'm drinking
Your name's the first one to come out of my mouth
And it's hard to fall for someone new
When you're the only one I'm still thinking about
I wish I could have you back
But I doubt that you're going to be leaving him now
You're falling in love, while I'm losing myself
I wonder, are our pictures still sitting up on your shelf?
I'm still thinking about us and it's been hell
There has to be something I can do to get of out of this mess
// It's over, I'm done.

It's clear that I have lost friends
That's what fire in your soul and the resulting fearlessness brings
I don't have a lot of intelligent open minded people rifling through my works or giving them the attending  or attention they deserve. They might overlook the irony sarcasm, wit or inherent fairness that is so carefully crafted into endless themes. Sometimes a social leveler, others a defensive maneuver of a wounded animal or all out aggressive neutralizing campaign. Regardless, I never wrote for any of them, I wrote for me.
They were just lucky I let them see.

I don't mind being called a racist, Marxist, freedom fighter, guerella or any thing else because if you never stood up and said something about something despite what someone might think; you never helped change the world.

Her
Collecting myself
Trying to be just like her
I guess my effort just isn’t enough

I’m not her
fighting my jealousy or is it just in my head
