I'm such a fool

I know I could never be anywhere

near good enough for the likes of him

I've lost a rare precious, most fine jewel

(like I ever really even had it to begin)

I'm left like one very small insignificant

leaf

whose fate was swallowed whole

by the drift and will of the wind

I bet he gets such a great big old laugh out

of the sorry likes of me

that so terribly silly green girl

who tried so very hard not to foolishly fall

for him

yet still she somehow did

and I am left to pay so very dearly now for

her nearly unforgivable sin

there's a flickering fool in my eyes

who surrenders the entrancing dream to win

ah but still thank you Lord so very much

for sending me to him

the best choice beloved price of all

his dear scarred yet wounded loving heart

half starved itself and hiding away in his

own lonely den

even though I know I'll never get back to

being the same

at least I got to re-know the sparkling one

I've so longed for again

and there is some though indescribable

comfort to be found in that

at least almost too tearfully

I grin..............................
