Fool's Fate
My feelings were benign in the beginning
a way to pass the time
from life’s dreary moments
and people’s ceaseless complaints.
The more I talked to you from day to day
an understanding of you
your needs and drives
that made you the man you are now.
From associate to friend I fell
never fully understanding
until it was to late
the path I now tread.
I now have crossed the line
with my feelings firmly
encased within your hand
yet you do not realize my dilemma.
From the inside looking out at you
and your life’s journey
you presently have committed
to living without what I would offer.
A fool’s fate I now must endure
never letting him know
the love I never got to express
to the one who stole my heart away.
