Jealousy's Fool

Bite your lip when she walks by
and to hear you speak of her
I start to imagine the scene
without me.

I coy smile from her
and whisper in her ear
and a toss of her fair hair
You're heart divided

or your heart was never mine.

I see the gleam in your eye
when you make her laugh
and she blushes now
but without me:

You tell her you love her
with that same gleam.
Kiss her neck
sweeter than you kiss me.
You will soon forget me

or you never knew me at all.

Lower my eyes to your glow
I don't know who you see
when you look at me anymore.
Because without me

You hold her in bliss
and breath in the smell of her hair
and laugh at that other girl.
You either love her already

or I am jealousy's fool.

Please, please

A puzzle of flesh and liquid
the mystery of my own body.
To hold me from knowing
what is happening within.
Growing inside?
I’m not ready.
My life barely blooming
with self-actualization not yet realized
Fill in the blanks.
I don’t want to throw it away
I should have been more careful
I know
But please, please, please
Not yet.
