Love's Fool
I am love’s fool
Under the spell of those piercing eyes
Memories that replay moments
Conversations that wouldn’t die
Those hands that are still on mine
Long after you have gone
And that kiss that lingered behind
Days – nay – weeks, after it was done
Then the silence that followed
Knowing not what went wrong
The moments seemed perfect
Until I felt I didn’t belong
I’ve always been a stranger
To the world you hold dear
A world that you built
Out of angst and your own tears
You live in a place
Where there is love for another
Who’s broken your heart
And will never be your lover
And here I am
Cast to the side
Bared my own love
Now buried alive
I’ve hidden it deep
Yet it stirs when it sees you
It tries to remind me
Of what once was true
I am love’s fool
For I could not forget
How your lips felt on mine
Every thought with regret
