Jealousy

Overwhelming waves of jealousy
                             masking waves of pain,
                             are you really back again?

                            Why won't you let me go.
                            Why won't you set me free.
                            Let me be, oh Jealousy.

                           Why do you linger still?
                           Why do you rear your ugly head?
                           Will you haunt me ‘til I’m dead?

                          All his smiles and laughter sweet,
                          His curl of lip that swept me off my feet,
                          The magic of his pen never to write for me again.

                          But I hang on.
                          I hold my tongue
                          and my song will not be sung.
