Fool Me Once

FOOL ME ONCE I was obsessed, with friendship I laid the foundation of my life, around it Joy was continually aboard with me, even in township I was always appeased, by its ever increasing heat Then at once, it seemed the clock stopped ticking When there occurred a change in place Ever since, I suffered from heart ache And an encroaching solitude I put up a fight fate, for pulling down my foundations But a loner like me, couldn’t win My opponent vehemently says, it’s for the greater good And this time, he swore I wasn’t fooled Struggling with thoughts, of past fun fare I realized, I had befriended myself As none I was warring for, was doing same The downpour of my tears, was unending I braced myself, with all courage I admitted, that fate was being truthful As I had only being fooled, once And surely, it’s will be the last.
