The Fool

I thought she loved me Was I too blind to see? How could I kid myself, love... It was never meant for me I grew up fallen down With no one for miles around To come and pick me up Or raise a smile on this frown Then I met her, the love of my life And she agreed to be my wife But the happy times we shared Wouldn't stay in my life She picked me up And filled my empty cup I finally felt joy And my heart was lifted up We were happy together And always told one another How much true love We had for each other But then, the clouds darken the sky The happiness leaves... but why? Then she left me there, alone The love disappeared in the night So, after I was lifted so Taking away my sorrow I fell again, as I watched her leave And my heart sank into woe I lay there now With no one around To come and pick me up The smile returns to a frown I'm alone again, now I see Love will never find me I actually thought it had But for I, it was never meant to be I will remain fallen with bruised knees Never again to rise or be free I will not make that mistake again No one can ever love me I will live this life as I am Empty and lonely, as I already have But still, I wish for one thing Only to have love sprout from this stem But I know it shall remain infertile With no strong feelings or will A sad, empty plant A beautiful oak that has fallen ill But even when emptiness resides I can't help but think of those times The love I had for one Which has forever been denied
