Fool




Fool





I know now that naievete must be my life's downfall.



I listened to each word you said, believed them one and all.



Should I expect a charlatan behind each face I meet?



Do honesty and ethics fail?  Morality retreat?



Words are more important to a poetess, I guess.



I write in truth and choose words well, perfection as my quest.



Who knew you said the self-same words to me that you told her?



Who could guess your speil a practiced verse you often purred?



I wish that I had more with which to base my choices on,



But I've been sheltered from the world and not exposed to fun.



I'm just a fool who gave you all I had without regret,



So now I sit here pondering the biggest fool I've met.
