Jealousy
October 16, 2010
Jealousy is the color of brackish water,
Clouding one’s vision until a person is blind to all reason.
It smells rancid like spoiled milk,
Pervading one’s nostrils until it overpowers the person it’s affecting.
It looks shadowy like a ghost who keeps reappearing,
Haunting one with his or her own envy.
It tastes bitter like day’s old black coffee spilling down one’s throat,
Boiling in a person’s body.
It feels aching like a trapped monster inside someone’s stomach,
Scraping away until it is a hollow shell.
Jealousy sounds as indignant as the harsh words uttered by the envious of heart to those they covet most.
