Distant cousin of love
living in its backyard,
ready to pounce
as soon as love leaves.
Most powerful of all feelings
can make one's blood boil
turns friends to foe
and puts the world upside down.
Fiendish feeling, one can't help but feel
nurse it, grows in leaps and bounds
hide it, makes you peevish and gray
show it, deprives you of all things good.
Dump it, that you can't
for it lives in the backyard of love
and pounces on you
as soon as love leaves you alone.
