DIFFERENT FOOLS

In less than perfect circumstance
You met this less than perfect African queen
The only reason I stared at you that day
I thought he had to pay


Like a knight you whisked me off my feet
Dried the tears on my cheeks
Starved for affection I drew you in
Nights getting less colder within


In time everything fade
My anger, memories replaced
My hurt, yearning replaced
With an ache so deep he was missed


Heartracing,soulshaking,breathtaking
He holds the power
Even through thoughts I'm weak inside
Wanton desire holding me down


You questioned my dismal face
Laughter growing hollow with days
A facade I could put up no more
Still in denial I stayed


Favourite places meticulously chosen
Inwardly hoping to bump into him
Like a fool you believed sweet nothings
Yet his fool I remained


Broken promises shattered dreams
I recognize the pain you feel
My love for him stays the same
Maybe in time love will come your way
