Green Blood by: moondogo Jealousy is a double sided sword. Because in being jealous, you not only stab yourself, but you stab the other person. I am a jealous person. The emerald poison swims around in my veins and nestles in my heart; It attacks at the most horrible moments. It hurt me because others have hurt me and injected that iridescent, green poison into me. I can see it pulse through me when I look in the mirror. Because jealousy is a wild beast that can not be tamed or contained. It eats away at you until you are nothing left but anger, flesh, bone, and green blood. But it can be hidden behind a pristine smile and a happy tone, Just put on a happy face and submit to being its puppet. You don’t have to ruin yourself but just don’t rebel against this ticking time bomb. And never listen to that logical mind of yours, Listen to your heart. Has it ever done you wrong? Don’t answer that. Your brain will tell you that you are being emotional while your heart will tell you that you are reacting perfectly fine. Your heart will also lead you back to your green friend. Don’t you want a friend? When it talks I am forced to listen. Or maybe I chose to listen. Either way, I end up listening. And what it says hurts because it takes a dig right at my fears and insecurities and just tries to push me over the edge I am so dangerously close to. But I am jealous. I have always been jealous. I am a coward but I am jealous. I will burn your world down because I am jealous. And I hate myself for that.
