Janice Herzog Poet ABC

Nobody's Fool

You claimed to be in love with me,
But then you turned away suddenly
I opened my heart to you
And broke it anyway you chose to do
I want you to know that I'm nobody's fool
Instead, I'm a very rare jewel

I never even got the time
For you to say to me, please be mine
You hurt me with such delight,
Couldn't you see it wasn't right?
Now I'm aching deep down inside
Because of how and why you lied

Written about my ex-boyfriend, Bob

Michael Degenhardt February 11, 2009 at 9:51 AM Janice, then you are so much better off without this person. Your words speak clearly and get to the heart of the matter with tact and the necessary tone. Very well expressed but so sorry something like this would have to be written. Michael
