Jealousy
A green, one-eyed monster will rear its head
Taking from love because it must be fed
Always suspicious and casting about
Trying to find reason and feasting on doubt
It has become rampant and must be beaten back
It can kill love with an all-consuming attack
Left to reek havoc on a gentle heart
Allowing it to live isn’t very smart
Put jealousy aside because it has no place
In love’s golden moments, leaving no trace
Letting in trust and tenderness instead of malice
A love that is untarnished and a heart uncallused
