Shaun Cover Poet Rhyme

The Fool

I thought she loved me
Was I too blind to see?
How could I kid myself, love...
It was never meant for me

I grew up fallen down
With no one for miles around
To come and pick me up
Or raise a smile on this frown

Then I met her, the love of my life
And she agreed to be my wife
But the happy times we shared
Wouldn't stay in my life

She picked me up
And filled my empty cup
I finally felt joy
And my heart was lifted up

We were happy together
And always told one another
How much true love
We had for each other

But then, the clouds darken the sky
The happiness leaves... but why?
Then she left me there, alone
The love disappeared in the night

So, after I was lifted so
Taking away my sorrow
I fell again, as I watched her leave
And my heart sank into woe

I lay there now
With no one around
To come and pick me up
The smile returns to a frown

I'm alone again, now I see
Love will never find me
I actually thought it had
But for I, it was never meant to be

I will remain fallen with bruised knees
Never again to rise or be free
I will not make that mistake again
No one can ever love me

I will live this life as I am
Empty and lonely, as I already have
But still, I wish for one thing
Only to have love sprout from this stem

But I know it shall remain infertile
With no strong feelings or will
A sad, empty plant
A beautiful oak that has fallen ill

But even when emptiness resides
I can't help but think of those times
The love I had for one
Which has forever been denied
