Tragedy

Folder: 
Blah

Like all happy endings, it was a tragedy

For I couldn't see what was really happening

You were running away from me

When all I could see was your smile.



Why do fools fall in love?

They are the ones who least can stand it

When the burning rug they stand upon

Gets pulled from beneath their feet.



I still cannot understand the rules of love

They are a complete mystery to my soul

For every time I try to play this dangerous game

I find myself standing up on the sidelines, once more.



Like all sad stories, there were lessons to be learned-

That love and hate dance together, hand in hand

Reality is really just another careful illusion

And happiness is just something other people feel.
