Jealous Woman

The strange woman

Notices your man.

The conversation

He’s too happy to see her.

His explanation.

He is nonchalant, quiet.

His happy face goes away,

when he is back in your presence.

Attitude

"That's right I got one!"

Offended.

She's upset because he doesn’t have much to say.

"Who was that woman?"

He acts as if she shouldn’t be asking any questions.

Now he has the attitude.

The argument.

Lack of details or no details.

He’s been acting different for awhile now.

Thinking about past issues with this current event.

Seeing red.

He’s confused.

She feels misused.

Upset stomach.

It’s becoming harder to talk.

Twisted thinking.

Making things bigger than what they are.

He says he loves you.

You say you trust him,

just not that woman.

But she has a man too,

and she isn’t thinking about yours,

but you.

Her man is telling her the same things.

Watching her every move.

"Who was that guy?

What did he say?

What did you say?"

He trusts her,

just not him.

Insecurity

Control

Abuse

Can’t be too careful

Hate feeling awkward

But jealousy has shown up

And things just aren’t the same

Don’t know whether you like him

Don’t know whether you want to be with her

Hate having to explain

You don’t need another father

Don’t want another mother!

Observing yourself in the mirror

Hoping you don’t offend

Thinking about what you say

Before you say it

No wrong ideas

No wrong impressions.

Jealousy at work

Does life get any better than this?
