jealousy

So this week being our first composition and song writing lesson for this term , we were given the instruction to write something/anything that resembles "jealousy." With this, we were to use a sense of taste, feel, look and smell.

This is what I wrote.

The tangy burn seeps into her nostrils.
Her eyes on me always.
A grey aura surrounds her.
He confornts her glare as I stare right on through.
My victory tastes bitter sweet, as SHE skips her rocks pondering and waiting for the man that she'll never meet.

The use of she is delibertae, particularly in the last sentence, hence the caps. I am me and she is she.

Two songs that i thought of when hearing the terms jealousy were Paramore's "Misery Business," and Spill canvas ( I am nto sure what the song is called butI shall find out and get back to y'all. (yes I am gangster now )

Paramore - Misery Business

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's tickin like a clock
It's only a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks later, we caught fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Ooh, it was never my intention to brag
And steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Acting as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Ooh, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Spill Canvas - "Himerus And Eros" (yes! I discovered what the song is called :] )

You're captivating while evading
All the questions I have for you like,
"What exactly makes you tick?"
When the guilt sets in tell me
What are we going to do?

Your tongue is wet with a top secret passion
I hope I am the cause of it
I'll navigate this unsturdy vessel
Filled with a soft sea of pillows and blankets

And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more

Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you

I've sunken in the quicksands of love
And I don't want you to rescue me
Screw what my supposed friends
think
It's obvious they reek of jealousy
It's obvious they reek of jealousy

And I fight the urge to explore
The vastness of your curves I adore
You know I, I hate you
No, I hate you more
You know I, I love you
No, I love you more

Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you

I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired 4 A.M. lips
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips

Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you
Yes, it's true
I romanticize every single thing I do
Especially when it comes to you

In this song I really love how they lyrics are written! They really create a sens eof taste, feel, look, and smell. It even uses the word "jealousy" in it. Howveerr, it was not till after thinking of this song that made me think of that particular lyrics. The part that triggered my memory of this song in class was actually the bridge.
I hope to God I mean a little more than the sounds that escape your tired 4 A.M. lips
And oh-how I wish I meant a little more than a symphony of heavy breathing and the friction of hips
I love those lyrics. I think they are highly intelligent and to me are inspiration, as I wish that is how I could write. to be able to put thoughts and actions down onto paper like that without it sounding corny. It creates imagery fo natural occurences of different relationships in day to day life.
