A Jealous Mind

A poem about the downfall a jealous mind can bring.

A jealous mind is easy to keep
It can fill to the brim with thoughts that disturb even sleep
Jealousy has a talent for clouding judgement
And creating illusions that ignite resentment
To lovers nothing can do more harm
Than the jealous mind, feeding doubts and causing alarm
Once the trap is laid and jealousy is given a place
It settles in, and slowly works to fill the space
‘Til a head is filled with only sad and lonely thinking
Actions are controlled by this continuous insecure feeling
Jealousy’s greatest delight is making trust hard to find
Everything is seen in a false light in a jealous mind
