April Fools

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

It all sounded so promising,
but naive ears don't know better.


Shouldn't have believed you;
Shouldn't have trusted you.


Forgot to check the calendar
and see April 1st staring back.


The joke's on me,
you turned me into a fool.


And my foolishness
brings me to my knees.


Tears stream down cheeks
tired of falling for lies.
