Jealousy's a funny thing
You can see it in their eyes
It always shows, there's no disguise
Although most times it tries to hide

Sometimes they feel they're out of place
Yet they're drawn to your pretty face
Your pretty face

Emotions confuse
They bring bad news
We interpret them how we choose
Some hearts won't sleep well tonight
But that's just how life works
We push on through although it hurts

Jealousy's an ugly thing
It makes you see a world of green
The thoughts you think are just obscene
You don't own anyone at all

The future might rip you apart
But you're chained to it by your own heart
Your foolish heart

Emotions confuse
They bring bad news
We interpret them how we choose
Some hearts won't sleep well tonight
But that's just how life works
We push on through although it hurts

The thoughts they think, won't leave their head
A thousand words, remain unsaid
They never thought it'd get this far
Now they're plummeting like a falling star

A burning star without a place
A burning star without a place
A burning star without a place
And yet it's burning all the same, yeah
It's burning all the same

Emotions confuse
They bring bad news
We interpret them how we choose
Some hearts won't sleep well tonight
But that's just how life works
We push on through although it hurts, yeah
We push on through although it hurts
I never thought I'd write poetry until I started one day. I never really thought I'd write songs either, but I've been writing songs. If you pay attention to my work, I'll probably be writing more songs now. I see it as a challenge, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm not usually capable of coming up with my own melodies, so some of my stuff rides on the sound of songs that already exist.. which is alright for now. I'll improve on that as I write more of them.

This one in particular, is about jealousy. It's pretty straightforward. It makes more sense when I'm singing it then when I read it though. Oh well, it's all a work in progress.

:D

A song, eh? Perhaps not all that different from poetry. Nice start :) Look forward to the others.
