You are a gift I hold too tightlyTo Jennifer Skerrett's previous piece     Stay ForeverTo Jennifer Skerrett's next piece


jealousy
not my normal madness
that I navigate with ease

I feel the destruction of
a consuming sickness
the gnawing of constant fear

my world becomes smaller
believing I have control
knowing I gave it up

I try willing it away
I analyze it
I make excuses for it
I deny it

Make it stop?
     Loosen the embrace
