Margarita Lillico Poet Pantoum

My Foolish Heart

I am tired of your callous game, 
You still toy with my sensitive side.
Too bad, my foolish heart is to blame, 
Wish I loved with my cold-blooded mind. 

You still toy with my sensitive side -
Cruelly crumpling, stealing what’s left. 
Wish I loved with my cold-blooded mind -
You’d be sued for emotional theft. 

Cruelly crumpling, stealing what’s left, 
Now I know we were doomed from the start. 
You’d be sued for emotional theft, 
If not for my torn tenderised  heart. 

Now I know we were doomed from the start, 
As you neither care nor set me free. 
If not for my torn tenderised heart, 
You would never be my cup of tea. 

I care no more and set myself free, 
Too bad, my foolish heart is to blame,
You are neither my cup nor my tea, 
I am tired of you callous game.
