A dark shadow has cast its spell over my life,
It has sapped the very essence of who I really am
It cuts slices off my heart, which has been damned.
My darkened days stretching back many years
The sting in my eyes is caused by many tears.

I’ve had my heart wrenched cruelly from my chest
And it’s like a thousand fierce words that cannot jest.
The agony of living in a barren almost living cage
Takes its toll, takes my life, takes a whole age!
As it strips a love down, until all I feel is a rage.

Emptiness replaced my expectant loving side
It enthusiastically entertained my suicide.
You take a broken union and then look inside
And if you see the puss caused by jealousy
You know that all you ever needed has gone bad.

There is the death stench that comes with jealousy,
It has no room for affection, kindness, caring or sex
It despises feelings, it chops me up like an axe.
Leaving me bleeding away the love I once had
Replacing hope with fear, it has made me feel sad.

The years when jealousy reigned over our lives
Have been too many, like enduring many sharp knives;
Cutting into the softest parts of my personality,
Changing forever my character, distorting my reality,
Digging a ditch into which my self-belief was thrown.
