Jealousy

JEALOUSY.

What twist is the knife to the inner heart
This crucify, this wrench of hurting’ pride
Is desperation tearing life apart
Cast of spasms which sears the gut inside

Ah, poor jealousy, foul miserable
Why hate in this way, to a malcontent
Is all in capture to sad heart’s harsh rule
Without remission and a lifetime spent

Cold nature, you have me in icy grip
Entombed in jealousy’s quietest rage
Let me go or let ugly savage rip
My heart to an outing and dying stage

What hard influence is hurt to the life
This cut of emotion, sharp jealousy’s knife

I think that you've captured the essence of jealousy really well in this sonnet.

I agree with Rocket.

Ron, I have cut off my nose to spite my face a time or two lol.

Me too, Maudie... And there was always regret at the end and too late to do anything about it. It is part of the Scorpio nature, negative emotions which needed creative outlet. Some carry it to their grave and it's the death of them!
