Jealousy and Possessiveness

Come yet again,
Pain of trying to possess
such a beautiful body.
Pain of trying to keep
such a person from being free.

For no one else should see this body.
No one else should have this body.
Yet in seeing I am blind,
And in keeping I strangle.

As I lust after this body,
I lust after all bodies,
including my own.

As I smother this person,
I smother all people,
Including myself.

Two old friends
Teaming up,
Coming in waves:
more
then
less,
now
one
has
gone,
the other,
fading away
Let’s see.
