Love Poem: Green-Eyed Devil

Green-Eyed Devil

Jealous
that's how she makes me feel

when I know that you've got your arm around her
and not me

She's soft and smooth, coos like a dove
and yet it's unknown, it's not you she loves

She's using you, just as she has
a thousand others, a thousand times

All smiles and hair tosses until
the real one she wants walks by

The blond beauty that I'll
never be

She flirts and talks with the one I love
the love that cannot be

Ensnaring and trapping,
a spider in its web

A million flies on the waiting list
and yet she drinks your blood

She'll let you go when all you have to offer
is a reservoir, sucked dry 

And then she'll throw you to the dogs
laughing all the way

when I pull you out of the ruins
I'll have so much to say

I'll start with the green-eyed monster
I'll chase that girl away

For although she may look quite like me
she won't be here to stay.
