My Foolish Heart

Young an impressionable waits for you not knowing you would not be true My days are long My nights are filled with tears Not knowing you would not be true I gave you all my love My nights are filled with tears Holding my pillow as if it was you I gave you all my love You chose to love another Holding my pillow as if it was you My foolish heart must go on Date Written:4/4/20222 4/6/2022 Poem of the Day Winner MY FOOLISH HEART Cash Prize Poetry Contest Sponsored by: L MILTON HANKINS

Now that I am older, I do not trust unless I have proof to do so. Even though, I did “the pillow thing “ and sobbed, eventually I used my head before my heart. “YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO looking for love... WHEN IT IS WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM” That worked for me.... Pangie xo

Thanks for your visit and for your congratulations. This POTD is a wonderful honor. It made my day. "Thank You" to everyone. Glad you like this write. Yes, love will find you. The head should be before the heart but guess that is why they say, "love is blind." Love/life are both a crazy part of life. Have a great/blessed spring day and weekend.............

"I gave you all my love" However. . ."You chose to love another." I think we all have been through this before. Such a moment does leave the heart aching, eyes filled with tears. Your thoughts caress softly around me. This is so beautiful, yet sad all at the same time. Congratulations Paula, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
