Jealousy


Jealousy.

An emotion I thought was beneath me to feel...
Like, I would ever have a reason to feel...
An emotion that I'd feel when I look at

Them


I see the way they act around each other...
The way they

Talk...

The way they

Laugh...

The way they

Kiss...

...with each other.


I shouldn't be jealous.
There can't be anything happening -
They have nothing in common -
Is what I though before
The stolen

Kiss.

They went from friends to

Something more.


For a moment, I thought we had something -
A shared

Smile.

A secret

Blush -

But I could never act on my feelings.
Keeping it hidden.
Waiting for that right moment.
I came

Too late.

Now they have the shared smile and secret blush.
While I watch

In Sadness.

What is left now?
I have nothing...
And you have

Each Other.


No...
That's not true.
You have each other...
And what do I have?

I

Have

Jealousy


Author's Notes

I just had this idea one night. This soliloque? poem? can be refered to any of the 'Slayers' characters. Lina. Sylphiel. Gourry. Amelia. Zel. Filia. Xelloss. Val. Eris. Rezo. Martina. Naga. Zanglus. Luna. Zelas. Heck, even the rest of the Mazuko Lords and all those others. Ceiphied. Lord of Nightmares. Aqua. Lei Magnus... Okay, maybe I'm going over board but I'm trying to prove a point.

Just about anyone.

Geez... What was I thinking when I wrote this thing?
