The Fool Again

she writes their names upon a page in scrolling curling colored inks with no fearful thoughts to assuage of his soft kiss she dreams and thinks his thoughts are of another’s lips and he's prepared to break a heart new passion has the first eclipsed in the short time they've been apart one day they will with others stand secured by years and golden bands he will wonder what might have been but she’ll not play the fool again 12/29/2018

I have to wonder how many "won't play the fool again" people there are compared to those that don't learn and "rinse and repeat."

For some reason, it seems to be easier for men to move on after a breakup, while ladies endure the pain longer. Nicely penned! Congrats on your win in Brian's contest. Hugs, Carolyn
