Casarah Nance Poet Lyric

Foolish

Holding on to empty hopes,
figuring out ways to cope,
sadness playing on the strings
while the jesters sorrow sings.

Foolish am I for holding on so,
foolish for thoughts of letting go, oh
I lost happy a long time ago,
where am I, I just don't know.

Waiting for midnight to drown me,
gazing at the galaxies that astound me,
I'm just a little bit afraid of the dark
and the sound of my breaking heart.

Foolish am I for holding on so
Foolish for the thoughts of letting go, oh
I lost happy a long time ago
where am I, I just don't know

I'm sorry I am so afraid
dreading mistakes I haven't made,
doubting myself, doubting wisdom
Into the darkness here I come

Foolish steps I keep on taking,
cracks of glass I hear when I'm waking
it's not only my heart I'm breaking

Foolish am I for holding on so
foolish for the letting go, oh
I'm that fool that you know...
 just let me go.

Caren Krutsinger July 20, 2018 at 10:04 AM If the world let go of their empty hopes, where would we be? Sometimes they are revived, alive and better than ever! A nice read, Casarah.
