To Love Someone Who Does Not Love You Is Foolish

im so sick of being alone 
tired of not having you here
loving you with no love in return 
my heart for you only burns

when i reach out for you you do not return
i mourn for you with a thousand tears
to only be shunned by the one i love
i blame myself for being such a fool

i am your joker and i know you laugh
look at him he does not have a clue
i can do anything to that fool

rapped around your finger
you take advantage of me
my kindness you despise
my tears you love to see me cry

now i understand to play is to be played 
to love one who does not love you is foolish
