Jealousy

A boy and a girl
the best of friends
from elementary to high school
from beginning to end

through all those years
their friendship grew
they both felt the same
but neither knew

each waking moment
since the day they met
they both loved each other
sunrise to sunset

he was all she had
in her terrible life
he was the one
who kept her from her knife

she was his angel
she made him smile
though life threw him curves
she made it all worthwhile

then one day
things went terribly wrong
the next few weeks
were like a very sad song

he made her jealous
on purpose he tried
when the girl asked "do you love her?"
on purpose he lied

he played with jealousy
like it was a game
little did he know
things would never be the same

his plan was working
but he had no clue
how wrong things would go
the damage he'd do

one night she broke down
feeling very alone
just her and her blade
no one else home

she dialed his number
he answered "hello"
she told him she loved him
and hung up the phone

he raced to her house
just a minute too late
found her lying in blood
her heart had no rate

beside her was a note
in it her confession
her love for this boy
her only obsession

as he read the note
he knelt down and cried
grabbed her knife
that night they both died

she was found in his arms
both of them dead
under her note
his handwriting said

"I loved her so
she never knew
all this time
I loved her too"
