Leslie Scardigno Poet Lyric

Foolish Heart

FOOLISH HEART

They say one’s born every minute
I’m the biggest of them all
You’re the one who created me
built me up then made me fall

Without enough respect
to look me in the eye
What were you afraid of?
Your eyes can’t hide behind the lies

I want to hurt you-make you feel pain
And break you down to tears
build up all your hopes and dreams
then shatter them with your deepest fears

I pray to god you understand
I’m not trying to sound cruel
but I really want you to know
how it feels to be a fool

And if and when we meet again
try hard to play your part
Remember just how easy it was
to break this foolish heart

Poet Destroyer A April 26, 2015 at 3:00 PM Leslie, Dropped by to say hi and congratulate you on having your poem selected by Soup's Administration. This is a wonderful poem to have featured on the homepage. ~Always & Forever~ LINDA Leslie Scardigno April 26, 2015 at 3:08 PM Somehow my reply to Lyric Man wound up on this message. SMH. I am delighted to have been selected so soon after joining! Leslie Scardigno April 26, 2015 at 3:05 PM Thanks for the warm welcome. I have checked out some of your work, and I love everything I've read. My problem is finding the time to read more. I'm a widow raising 2 kids and work full time. I get on here and it becomes a "time suck" I can't afford right now. But I will try my best to carve out some time each day to read as much as I can.

Skat A April 26, 2015 at 1:53 AM Leslie, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will get much delight in reading and in time become familiar with your verse. As for now, I will greet you with the same smile others passed when I first joined the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here STARTING with me- SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT Leslie Scardigno April 26, 2015 at 3:14 PM Thank you for the warm smile and well wishes. I feel like I've finally found a place I belong. It feels so wonderful to get feedback from such talented poets. Especially since I've never studied writing, in any form, except the limited teaching in high school. A little about me...I'm a widow with 2 children (1 boy, 1 girl), both very talented writers themselves. I've read some of your work and have loved it. As I told Lyric Man, I need to find more time to get on here and read, but my free time is quite limited at the moment. Again, thanks for the warm welcome.

Poet Destroyer A April 24, 2015 at 2:30 PM Leslie, A nice warm WELCOME to poetry soup. I hope you have fun with this wonderful community. You'll find many friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. I will enjoy following you and your poetry when you are ready :) We are Lucky To Have you. Enjoy 2015, with New Poet Friends @-> LINDA <-@
