A Fools Folly

Tears falling like rain ,
                       could never wash away this pain,
                            So cry no more , will I for you ,
                       In lonely nights , when I am blue.
                       On bitter memeories , I am keeping ,
                      tis time to end , this endless weeping.
                           In nights of tormented unrest , 
                      no comfort found in dreams , or sleeping.
                             In the lonely days as I reminiss,
                           alas , amongst such melancholy , 
                                      and thoughts , I know ,  
                                       are only A fools folly .

                  Heartache and loss , longinging , so unbearable ,
                  though remorse , was never given , to being charitable.
                           Regrettably , I face the daunting facts ,
                           I must go on , no turning back ,
                           To find a new life , a new love ,
                              such are the treasures , that I lack .

                        A poor man , but wiser , knowing not the future ,
                                          or what I may find,

                              Wishing only for someone to love ,
                                              and to be kind.
