Like a Fool

Like a Fool


I was locked within my grief
but the moment that we met
I thought you were my saviour,
that you'd teach me to forget.

Recklessly, I offered up
all my trust, all that I am,
like a sacrificial fool.
But you didn't give a damn.

You stole just what you needed
to rejuvenate your soul.
Left me alone to wither
as you walked away heart whole.

Did you go back to the dark?
To the black from whence you came.
Or did you seek another,
invite her to play your game?
