Me From My Words

What I write when I'm someone else. What I think when I'm me. Short stories. Poetry. Random insights. And other stuff.

The More Fool
I
You found everything you ever wanted
When you looked into her eyes.
So eager to believe her,
You ate up all her lies.
You just smiled and nodded
When she said the rain was snow,
But now you've finally caught her
And one of you will have to go.
You thought she'd be your perfect one,
You thought you'd call this "love".
She left your heart in shattered pieces,
Left you to rage at Heav'n above.
She laughed, you cried.
She left, you died.
The more fool you.
II
I never loved you
I never cared
I was only with you
because you were there.
You took care of me
You were always there
You were only with me
because you really cared.
The more fool you.
III
You couldn't change me,
Couldn't make me see.
You simply loved me,
And waited for me.
I wasted my chance,
And squandered my turn.
You wasted your tear,
And watched me burn.
The more fool I.
IV
The more fool both of us.
_Can you ever forgive me?
~What did you do?
_Please say you'll forgive me.
~I don't know what you did.
_I can't tell you. Forgive me?
~I need to know what you did.
_It will only kill you. Forgive me?
~Please. What did you do?
_The unforgivable.

The weather grows colder
as
children grow older
and
the fires die down to a glow
but
if we remember
that
late in december
the
fireworks pop by for a show

When You Already Know the End at the Beginning
You're still shocked when what you knew would happen does
A Whole and Perfect Heart
Has never loved
Has never lost
Has never bled
Has never died
Has never had to pick up the pieces it can see
And then move on, leaving most of itself behind
Is not mine-my imperfection
The Cruelest Joke of All
my life
or lack thereof
