"Happiness can be found even through the darkest of the night. But only if one remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore


I wish to blame her

For taking you away


To curse out cupid

To swear off love and all its plays


The night sky stretches

And the stars scatter unaware


The sun shines bright

Its yellow and orange rays

destroying all but stabs of searing blame


I blame no one but my heart

which has willingly chosen

obdurate fidelity to you.


you, who im aware, can ruin me

leaving me in unholy grounds

crawling to escape. 


The author's comments:

Jealousy comes in all shapes and forms but I feel like romantic jealousy is a beast of itself. Jealousy for a crush, a friend, or even a plantonic relationship can literally ruin a person. In this piece, my goal was to embody the unique and individual emotions that make up jealousy. I wanted to highlight and personify the heart, knowing that with some of us, we choose what our heart desires and how at certain times, the blame can't be placed on another individual or thing but only on our attachment.
