I can’t believe this is happening
Am I that immature
All these thoughts I am having
Would be difficult for any heart to endure
I love you
And I know you feel the same
It shows in how you look at me
With a passion you can’t contain
You don’t have any feelings for him
That’s plain for everyone to see
Why can’t he leave it at that
And just let me and you be
At one time he might have wanted
To be just friends
But these signals that he is giving
I didn’t just pretend
He likes you
Why do I Even care
Him seeing us together
Must be hard for him to bear
But how can you still
Be friends with a man
That disrespected our relationship
Before it even began
That’s probably what I don’t
Understand the most
Can you still not see through the facade
Even after his pal’s begin to boast
I’ve never been one
That would carry such a vice
But every time I see you together
My mind can’t help but think twice
I wish I could stop
Getting so upset
Even worse is when I say things
That I will eventually regret
Maybe it’s just my past relationships
Their love was just a disguise
They all left me with pain and
Nothing but Distrust in my eyes
I don’t want to condemn you
For what others did
But it will always stay with me
All of the lies that they hid
Rational is something that
Jealousy is not
And in its web of unforgivness
I feel that I am caught
So I will do my best to live
As if I’ve never been lied to
Maybe at least that way
I won’t take it out on you
Author notes
Poetry often helps me to realize things in my life that I need to work on. It often gives me some insight in how to fix the opportunities that arise as well.

good work
you have portrayed a common struggle... and taken the high road in the situation. it's true that building strong relationships are not just about finding the right person, but more about becoming the right person.

I agree with everything kiwigirljacks said, wonderful poem.

Well done!
I stumbled in the first verse a bit, but the second verse smoothed out and I enjoyed the rest of the write. At times some of the words seemed a bit contrived, but this happens when you are both rhyming and maintaining the passion of a piece.
Thank you for sharing -

Excellent!! Jealousy is such an insidious thing that creeps up on us even if we don't want it to... it's a very hard thing to control... especially if we've been hurt in the past. I really like the reflecting you've done in this... the self examination of why you feel and think a certain way, and being aware that acting out is actually a reaction from past hurts.
We all do that.. something I think we all need to take a closer look at and examine.
Well done hun! This is superb.. hope it all works out!
