Jealous 

by any1mark

I’m jealous of your hate.

You hold it closer than I’ll ever be.

It builds walls thick as a castle.

Invisible from your inside view.

The coldest day has nothing on your rage.

It’s moves you in ways I used to do.

It calls to you inner being

It chokes out the day

Turns happy into sheer misery.

You are blind by your hate.

I could show pictures of how it looks

But Braille requires effort and belief.

The power to destroy is addictive 

The power to love is weak 

Unless we both support each other.

My hand long callused from pulling for two

I look for the girl I knew

I hope for the one I love

I dream of the day you love me more

But until then, I’m jealous of your hate.

For it moves your  heart and your  mind

      16. The hotel beds have that bottom that keeps you from being able to crawl under them. Not that I checked. I’ll be at a beach in a couple hours. I’ll go play in the rain!

      18. I just arrived at beach. I’m listening to waves. I penned a poetry piece and am trying to avoid clearing two days of emails. My wife is organizing the rental condo. Happily doing so.😀

  6. Strong and powerful words. Her full of so much hate and him too or he wouldn’t sound so angry and almost threatening. But that’s jealousy, it can be very powerful if you let it simmer. Really well done communicating emotion in this poem Mark.

    1. It’s a really weird thing. Like a relationship that eats itself! Twisted but self-sustaining. Maybe a symbiotic relationship where the waste of one feeds the other. Oh that’s sound even worse! As long as the helplessness is there, I’m happy. 😄
