Poetry: Silent Jealousy

It makes me slightly jealous,
To see you with that man.
And I grow somewhat crazy,
When I watch you hold his hand.

Every smile you glance at him,
I wish was truly mine.
For deep inside I know that you
Were sent from the divine.

It pains me as I see you both
As happy as can be.
Even though the joy should fill
To see your heart so free.

But jealousy runs through my veins,
And I grow sick inside.
If only true love’s kiss were real,
Perhaps you’d be my bride.

Instead, I watch you from afar,
Filled with glee and merry.
But I’d be happier truly still,
If I was the one you’d marry.

The last thing I’d ever want,
Is to ruin your happiness.
So with my dreams I’ll sit on by,
You can keep your bliss.

But if he dares to ever leave you,
Should he care to break your heart.
I’ll be there with moments lost,
Ready to play the part.

I’ll tell you that I always loved you,
Enchanted by your eyes.
Your lips would curl a crafty smile,
My affection a surprise.

Perhaps if sooner had I told you this,
Would not we had to wait?
Was this time passed between us two,
Avoiding our earthly fate?

But still a dream that day will be,
And will it ever come?
β€œIt must!” I say, and must indeed!
You are the only one.
