Jealousy

Jealousy,oh,jealousy do not consume me I am much consumed by love itself I have nothing more to offer thee All I have is a feeble heart,wrecked by deception and despair Go find a better claim,I am not pleasing enough to be thy victim Or better make my heart whole again so that when thou claim me thou may enjoy thy pleasures and I my pain What shall thou gain by prevailing over a heart that is already prevailed None won the battle already lost None conquered the one already conquered None enjoyed the prize that never was truly earned Jealousy, oh jealousy,make my heart whole again and relish thy prize.
