A Good Little Girls Zine

Fragmented Whole

Jealousy spreads in her veins
dark, grimy,              moves at the speed of light,
destroys the walls of her veins,
rips,

punctures,

breaks

And

In those same veins,
a deep, boundless love for the same thing she is jealous of
resides,
warm, powerful, bright           moves          slowly
builds,

supports,

honors

Both:

are genuine      only one

comes and goes

love remains even when jealousy is ripping through like a violent tornado
so trust that,

she may be jealous at times,
her love, however, is fiercer,
will be there always,

always.
