A poem about jealousy

I acually finished this last year but, I wasn't satisfied with the ending. At first I wasn't able to come up with anything. Now that I finally did, I'm happy with it. Now the flow is off and that was intentional. This was the first poem I wrote after a long writer's block....which I'm on again. I really hate being like this >_<.

Jealousy

If only you can see,
How I'm burning in the flames of jealousy.
Eating away at the flesh of my soul,
So strong its hold,
To break free...seems like an impossible goal.

I've been consumed by these envious flames,
And it's a shame,
How I've been caught up in this jealous game.

Only you are to blame,
For making me feel so small,
Causing me to take this fall,
Into the fiery pit of jealousy.
I'm trapped within its walls of captivity,
Driving me to the point of insanity,
Just to find a way out is vanity,
Leading me on the path of calamity.

My mental health is slowly failing,
While this jealousy is prevailing.
These jealous flames devour me.
As I live in hellish misery.

These jealous flames...once a spark so harmless,
Engulfs my life with constant distress.
From coveting your hair, your looks, your life,
Piercing me as a fiery knife.

If only you can see,
How I'm burning in the flames of jealousy.
Torturing me internally,
As these jealous flames burn eternally.
