A Fool

I was a fool, always searching
for the one but none were
as blind as me.

Amongst the roses are the thorns,
and the weeds lay beneath
they like to choke everything.

I was a fool, for love hit me,
tripped me and played
my heartstrings like
a fiddle.

Foolish me, always searching
for the one but none were
as blind as me.

I once laid beneath the roses
as the bush slowly wrapped itself
around my heart stabbed me deep
in the back with its thorns, as
I hydrated it’s roots with my blood
it drank my pain and stole my gain.

Love fooled me, it was beautiful
in the beginning.

Until it revealed itself,
a rose it was not and
it mistakened me for
a weed.

A fool I was, always searching for the one
but none were as foolish as me,
love blinded me with its promises
and false reality.

Loves no dream, its no magical spell
or the greatest most amazing thing ever.

Love is tragic, painful and disastrous
its painfully damaging heartbreaking
and it causes scars.

Love is powerful because its the most
beautiful, confusing disaster you will
ever experience.

Its the scars that define your strength
after a heartbreak, what bites you
can make you stronger and smarter
it can teach you how to find true love.

We all are fools to love,
the first heartbreak is
the deepest pain and
leaves the biggest scar.

To guard your heart is the most
important thing, don’t give it to
just anyone.

Find someone who enjoys life
with you and encourages you
to be your best and holds
your hand when you need
support. Also, remember to be
patient and kind.

Love is attracted to kindness
it finds it beautiful and amazing.

Love is inside of you, its part of us all.

Love is success and acceptance,
it helps build societies.

A fool in love is a fools lesson.
