Fool For Love By K “I’ ” P
I don’t want to be a fool for him, who is making a fool of himself. Taking my sweetness for weakness. Faking his sweetness that’s making me weak.
Messing my dreams up with his image; my dreams, now in it, is his presence, yet s ll I don’t wana sleep.
I allow him to make a fool of me; I know this isn’t love but will he ever “It’s hard to explain why it all works, except it does.” love me? – New York Daily News He paints a picture and damn! It’s lovely But the portrayal of his perfect work of art lacks consistency.
My emo on is doing it again. Le ng my guards down, the cage that protects my heart from the heartless who wants to tear it apart regardless Of my sincerity, my dignity. Boy please! Stop messing with me.
Don’t do this if doing it ain’t something you want to do Or is it that you just doing what you doing so you can do me, that, then do me wrong and do over with me.
Lies linger in your truth Stop! Cease from making a fool of yourself! Cause I don’t want to be a fool for you. Or am I the fool, making myself a fool When your words are nothing but truth and I fail to believe in you.
I am sorry. For being in and out of it, causing all this confusion It’s my emo ons, running wild again, sensing illusions. Now I feel as if I’m all responsible. That, I should be. I need to take control of my thoughts and my feelings before you take control of me. Join The Campus Press . Blackwood, Camden City, Cherry Hill. E-mail: [email protected]. I am the fool. I’m sorry. 6 The Campus Press ▪ December 2015
