How can I explain this feeling?
This burning sensation,
Destroying me from the inside-out,
Fire,
Flaming bits and pieces of sanity,
This jealousy taking over,
How can I pretend it's nothing?
This raging desire,
Driving me out of my mind,
Fire,
Sparks exploding from every direction,
This jealousy consuming me,
How can I live without knowing?
This true feeling of love,
Eating me alive,
Fire,
Smoke slowly entering my lungs,
This jealousy finally ending it all.

This poem is about how jealousy can ruin a relationship. In love, you have to completely trust the other person or it won't last.

Thank you both for your feedback. I wrote this because I wasn't trusting my boyfriend when he was around a girl that he has had a crush on for three years. But I realized that a relationship cannot last without complete and total trust in the other person. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again :)
