"Jealousy"
by Jeph Johnson
Should it give me hope
or cast me down
the pit of despair
When seeing that smile
and long brown hair
across the table from him?
I know not where they've been.
I only know that they're here
and she blows in his ear
and I try not to stare
yet I seem more aware
for she's all that's in my mind
His magnitude enshrined
by her smile into his eyes
I give up my trying-
Perhaps I should have faith
I mean, they're only on a date
or maybe, God forbid!
she carries his kid
or could it be true love
without the knowledge of
what they're lives have been
my lust becomes a sin.
