Jealousy's Embrace
Green sleeves of Jealousy,
That bring us together
whether I let go without a taste,
a waste of dignity, and hastily
I move in closer, closer to your face,
bringing you in tightly
in Jealousy’s embrace.
I do not know my purpose,
but I know my own desires.
The fires igniting between us
as two bodies cause friction.
An addiction to you,
I threw passion and lace,
tying you softly,
in my Jealous embrace.
What I have is not enough,
what I need I cannot own,
I have sown a seed of spite
that might bleed my Jealous tone.
I am calm with your attention,
I am ferocious in the chase,
I live by the invention
of the envious embrace.

the second use of jealous embrace seems slightly forced, even easily placed just for the rhyme
The sentiment behind the write is admirable though, I love the acceptance of jealousy keeping interest or perhaps even excitement intact, even if I still imagine it would remain dysfunctional forever in such cases
Less repetition would be nice, creating a feeling of greater depth
Yet still I enjoyed this
Nice, honest work

I appreciate it is a little forced, it doesn't sound forced when I read it but it's open to the way in which it is read. I myself am a huge fan of repetition to get a point across, it's not something I use in my poetry all too often but when I do I overuse it a little (I think I use it a lot in the poems I have posted on here though).
