Foolish Boy

Foolish boy Can’t you see? So caught up in her game You won’t be leaving all the same I stand by the sidelines Feeling your world light up As you see the witch you call “your love” I can see you stepping on her landmines Haggish-like nose Legs skinny as a pole Freckles stain her gloomy face God, she’s such a disgrace For I tried helping you I tried opening your eyes To not fall into the trap That the creature you “love” is setting All of her friends know her plan Foolish boy, you’re so blind Words that sting your ears Everyone knows she’s not kind Hair as dirty as her plans Lips as small as the truth she says Nails sharps like badger’s claws She’s ready to tear you apart. She was named after a flower you say? She could’ve been named after a flytrap. Foolish boy, she’s going to kill your hopes and dreams When she’s done, she’ll throw you in the streets And after all I did for you You still chose water over wine. And her alligator tears Still show her darker side. I tried saving you But you “don’t need my help” So I’m abandoning ship And you can save yourself For you lost someone you once called “best friend” Just to be with someone whom you’ll never understand.
