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

Janice, Bob doesn't know how much he lost. I hope you find someone who appreciates your sensitivity.

His loss in a big way. You are a rare jewel and are meant to shine for someone who appreciates you. Goodbye Bob. Shine on Janice! Love, Shar

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
