Foolish Heart

FOOLISH HEART They say one’s born every minute I’m the biggest of them all You’re the one who created me built me up then made me fall Without enough respect to look me in the eye What were you afraid of? Your eyes can’t hide behind the lies I want to hurt you-make you feel pain And break you down to tears build up all your hopes and dreams then shatter them with your deepest fears I pray to god you understand I’m not trying to sound cruel but I really want you to know how it feels to be a fool And if and when we meet again try hard to play your part Remember just how easy it was to break this foolish heart

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have checked out some of your work, and I love everything I've read. My problem is finding the time to read more. I'm a widow raising 2 kids and work full time. I get on here and it becomes a "time suck" I can't afford right now. But I will try my best to carve out some time each day to read as much as I can.

Leslie, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT

Thank you for the warm smile and well wishes. I feel like I've finally found a place I belong. It feels so wonderful to get feedback from such talented poets. Especially since I've never studied writing, in any form, except the limited teaching in high school. A little about me...I'm a widow with 2 children (1 boy, 1 girl), both very talented writers themselves. I've read some of your work and have loved it. As I told Lyric Man, I need to find more time to get on here and read, but my free time is quite limited at the moment. Again, thanks for the warm welcome.
