FOOLISH THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE
We dig a hole deep enough
To swallow our entire future
All while our lover giggles on the other end
Of a senseless phone call.
We chase the moon and shoot for the sun
On a night when the stars hoard their light
Just because our lover is bored of the night
And we stumble around until daybreak's light.
We weave words into a piece
We joyfully call a poem, a lullaby
Because our lover is tired of the usual
Boring ways of saying "I love you."
We are indeed fools for love
Shunning the words of wisdom from above,
For our lover loves that song—
The sound our heart makes when we flatter.
