I Was a Fool

I was a fool by making the first move
When I first saw you

I was a fool by putting in my all to prove to you
Knowing that what we had wasn’t true

But I wasn’t a fool when I said I do 
and was ready to live the rest of my life with you

Being with you is true cos you the one I chose but letting you go is good
cause without you I can do good...

Beata Agustin Date: 11/1/2024 7:46:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
Darren White Date: 3/10/2017 4:18:00 AM This poem speaks with honesty, and it feels like it was hard to write it down, it has feelings in it. I understand what Charlie says, but I think it is mostly because between the first three stanzas and the last one, there is a change of tone. And a change of language you used. That can be a deliberate choice, or not. But anyway, I understand it :)
Maureen McGreavy The Insolent Rib Date: 3/6/2017 3:59:00 PM I really like this poem. It boasts of honesty and growth. I think it is perfect. 7 and a fave ;) xomo
Charlie Gregory Date: 3/6/2017 2:44:00 PM I like the first 3 stanzas. But the last stanza confuses me... ie - "because you the one I choose" I would have preferred "because you're the one I chose" Also, I take it that "cause" in the last line is short for "because". If so I would have preferred " 'cause" or " 'cos". But what do I know? And it's your poem to do what you want with.
