A Foolish Heart

A foolish heart will never learn
The foolish heart often gets burnt
It believes that love will conqueror all
Overlook faults no matter how big or small
It believes in fairy tales and loves first kiss
Wizards, legends and magic exists
Santa Claus and the Easter bunny
Confetti, chocolates and flowers on Sunday

I once knew a foolish heart every well
Filled with hopes and dreams and wedding bells
Her friends tried to warn of a man who didn’t love her the same 
Her love to him was part of his game
But she decided to give her heart to him anyway
then he broke that foolish heart when he wouldn’t stay
That foolish heart persistently fought hard to the end
Scarred and crushed, but sadly that fools heart did not win. 
I know that foolish heart will try love once more  
Because despite it all foolish hearts still believes that true love endures.

Foolish hearts ride raging rivers wide and deep, they toss to and fro and paddle without sleep. Daring to love, daring to try. But, the current is swift, and rivers they'll cry.
