jealousy



I love the shades of the heart so sweet
Hidden in  the facts behind all the feelings we bleed
And In all of loves colors you thought I could not see

But the rainbow of your lies
Reaches out to all not just to me
like refelctions that ripple across a vast & churnnig sea

But no one is fooled except only the fool himself
Because whats never known only collects dust upon a empty shelf

like millions of books that will never be read
an empty heart will always remain dead

For what is expected with love I will wait patiently for thee
And it is I who will stand here honestly laughing with bitter glee

I will wait for that moment when jealousy rears its ugly head
Feeling its grasp on me
with a game thats long since been dead

And when you leave thinking you have won it all
I will hold up in my castle
And from my high towers I will watch you fall

Love is a gift one that forever will shine
And if its true love It will stand the test of time

Wisdom is a part of love
one thing that can't be taught

when it comes to the green monster
Its the thing most smart people forget
