Grow

just something i felt like posting.
hm.



It started out as a seed,
A doubt, a suspicion.
Small, but pernicious.

And like all seeds,
With time came growth.

And the doubt and the suspicion
Within him grew with it.

Soon, nothing could satiate this hunger for the truth,
The search became him.
His physical appearance eroded away and a dowdy man came to be

Her inculcation of the truth only watered the
Growing plant inside of him.

Her persistent claims of the fallacy of his suspicions
Were specious in his eyes.
Everything she did was a salient indicator of her disloyalty.

He was jealousy
And jealousy was him.

She did not love him, said he.
She did not want him, said he.
She did not stay faithful, said he.
She did not deserve him, said he.

She was censurable.
And forgiveness was no matter of contingency.

His trust for her, his love for her,
Was seared and ruined.

What was once a small seed,
Grew into a monster.
