What's it like to have loved and to have lost?
Profile avatar image for DavidRoss
DavidRoss in Poetry & Free Verse

Jealousy

You don't deserve her,

You're not worth her time.

Can't believe you took her from me

Or that I'm wasting these rhymes.

I can't stand you boy,

She was supposed to be my girl.

But you stepped into the scene

And threw her for a whirl.

I've always loved that woman

She was fine, mine in the first place.

I had to fight for her 9th grade

But lost when I gave her chase.

Never gave me a thought

Until we became the best of friends.

Then we tried once she lost her way

Hoped to that next level we'd ascend.

But no, one date in,

You said it wouldn't work.

Had my feelings bent

And cried all the way to church.

I mean yeah

A different dude took your v card.

But this dude now?

Never be as close as we are.

So of course im jealous

Took it with a salt grain.

Because now I'm filled with hurt,

Pain when I hear y'all's names.

You told me you ain't like him,

But now your lives advanced.

I'll never like you with him,

But I guess I had no chance
