A Fool In Love

I staggered blindly to her arms, Forgot the hurtful past, And told myself it’s perfect now: This time it’s sure to last. It happened time and time again, I’d loved and lost and cried, A fool in love: a sacrifice. My loving, trusting heart had died. * How I felt a long time ago For Carol's Let Down contest

I guess most of us have had our wings clipped at one time or another. You told it with such emotion though, can't help being moved.

Wow, I believe this is one of the most powerful and memorable poem you have written Jack. I thoroughly enjoyed this write!! I love how you painted the fool part of the write, very, very slippery description, but did the trick!! Incredible Work!!
