Jealousy

I'm scared that

the pit in my stomach

is where I live

and that one day

you'll live there

too.

You are as beautiful

and spirited

as the fawn

I see when I'm happy.

I'm as dark

as my stomach linings.

I'm scared that

the pit in my stomach

is where I live

and that one day

you'll live 

somewhere new.

A very good poem that does well in its simple language. Well done, Rae
