Poem about an emotion
Jealousy by tempeste
    Emotions Contest Winner 


Luckily
I've never been in misery
due to the pangs of jealousy
 
I read it's an ugly emotion
that stirs and creates commotion

Sadly, love is not always
an everlasting paradise

 
It can turn hearts to ice
and tongues into knives that slice

when we start to fear
that the one we hold so dear
has stopped being sincere

Jealousy breeds doubt and suspicion,
it fuels mistrust and suppositions

It corrodes,
and takes you down a dark road

Jealousy makes some grow
sharp claws and fangs

while it makes others pull

the trigger and fire bang
 
All things considered
I'm glad I live alone
 with my furry gang

They help me keep
in check my yin and yang.
