Green eyed monster
The green-eyed monster
That destroys all that stands
The menacing plane that never lands
That fully engulfs with its out stretched hands
The green-eyed monster
That bites and gnaws
The terrible beast that traps in its jaws
That suffocates without pause
The green-eyed monster
That lives inside you
The monster that infects all like the flu
That turns your thoughts and vision askew
The green-eyed monster
That only affects the beholder
The giant weight on your chest like a boulder
That makes the world all the much colder
The green-eyed monster
That is jealousy
The feeling that makes you act carelessly
That twists and turns your brain so helplessly
The green-eyed monster
That makes you an imposter
