green eyed

you've had
the disease of
jealousy.
that sickness
that owns
you. keeps
you on your knees.
wondering
what she's up
to, and with who.
it's a horrible
thing this
illness.
this worry,
this wonder.
you can almost
feel your
soul burning
like a barrel
of leaves.
it's not love,
it's a sickness.
a strange and
powerful disease.
