Something Ugly
Show me something raw and honest. Gut wrenching and sick. Heavy and drenched in emotion. The poem that packs the most punch wins.
Challenge
Lemon Eyes and Perfect Lies
Two of my favorite themes to use, now I'd like to see others try it. How do jealousy and deception pair together? Poetry is preferred on this one, but any format is okay if really needed. Don't forget to tag me in the comments.
I’m not jealous
I watch from afar,
and try not to cry,
She's perfect for you;
why aren't I?
You ask how I am,
and I tell you I'm fine.
I won't tell you the truth;
I can't cross that line.
My jealousy flares,
but I try not to show.
You mean too much to me,
but you'll never know.
Not sure I can fake it,
but I'll continue to try.
So what if it hurts?
It's better to lie.
