maybe the worst dilemma for lovers


225. The worst and most painful jealousy... (for jealous lovers challenge)



Jealousy is never worse than when it's justified,
when others make the same claim of your love as you,
when others act as if they were your doubles
manifesting the same feelings for your love as you,
transforming your life to a nightmare of outrageous clones,
all those unworthy rivals utterly destroying what was yours
and killing off the harmony of what you thought was perfect love,
continuously ruining your day and life and future,
and you can do nothing but resign in gloom.
For what can you do about others having equal human rights as you?
It was your bad luck that they picked on your love,
you have no right whatsoever to deny them any feelings,
and to start some quarrel, have a fight or challenge them to duels
is now out of fashion and but childishness.
You have to bear it, and if you are lucky
your love might discover that you, after all,
was better than the others and the only worthy one.

Jealousy can bite you when you least expect it...rivals for your love's affection can make you utterly miserable and you can only hope that they will love you enough to reassure you and make you feel like you are number one. A insightful and somewhat hopeful message on jealousy.
