Jealous Poem by Beatrice Preti

I had a friend, but now she's gone
She found she couldn't stay for long
She had to leave because she found
That jealousy's a fertile ground
For breeding lies and hiding truths
The follies of a selfish youth
And I will not see her again
I loved her hard, but time won't mend
The rift that's grown between our hearts
The ties she left and tore apart
I never asked for this at all
But when she left, I took the fall
And watched my dreams burst out in flames
As my dearest friend just walked away
She couldn't love the way I did
The friendship that our fates forbid
My life is reaching above the clouds
But she won't stand still on the ground
And she's moved on, left me behind
Left me to go right out of my mind
And I can't find her anymore
She left no trace past the open door
These scars that even time won't mend
Remind me I won't see her again
