Foolish Heart

Every night, you haunt my dreams

Your eyes

Your scent

Your hair

Your skin

The parts of you I drown in

You lied to me

You cheated on me

You left me

Still, my foolish heart hangs on to your memory

You’ve got a new lover

You’ve got a new life

I guess I should get on with mine eventually
