My Foolish Heart

My foolish heart; I had no clue
that you could ever be untrue.
Our time was great. You can’t deny
together we were flying high!
Why did you leave? What did I do?

How did I ever misconstrue
the way you felt? The man I knew
would never want to see me cry.
My foolish heart!

When after all that we’d been through,
I can’t believe you turned into
a stranger! You became the guy
who didn’t even say goodbye
when always I’d been there for you.
My foolish heart.

Just logged in when I got some time.. Andrea. This is sad... when someone we trust so much all of a sudden behaves indifferent like a stranger. A SURE winner in my mind. Best wishes dear. Hugs ~ Ani

I think that we often take love for granted. It takes two to tango (ok, it's a cliche, but it works for me!) This is an entry worthy of a high placement. ~ Regards // paul

Good one for the contest. Way to go. The heart wants what it wants but sometimes it wants what is not the best for it. Sara
