In shadows deep, where doubt resides,
A monster lurks, with piercing eyes,
It feeds on fear, on insecurities’ sting,
A venomous beast, named jealousy.

With envy’s claws, it grips the heart,
Twisting affections, tearing them apart,
It whispers doubts, inflames the mind,
A poison seeping, leaving scars behind.

Like wildfire spreading, it consumes the soul,
In its wake, trust and love take their toll,
It paints the world in shades of gray,
Where joy and happiness fade away.

Oh, jealousy, the tormentor so sly,
It weaves a web of lies, a tangled tie,
It binds the heart, imprisons the mind,
A captive soul, forever confined.

But break the chains, let reason ignite,
Embrace the light, let darkness take flight,
For love’s true essence, it cannot bind,
It sets the spirit free, leaving jealousy behind.
