The Only Fool Was Me

Perhaps no longer useful
Had he discarded me
Taken all he needed
Thats how it seems to be

Hanging by heartstrings
He pulls occassionally
Flirts around the mind
Takes a little more of me

There whenever needed
I was deserving more
I had become the fool
Whose heart would soar

Circumstances depends
On the weak and strong
All I had ever wanted
Was to feel that I belong

Feelings I cannot let go
I attached emotionally
Heartstrings are played
I am reminded constantly

There with his  sweet talk
I surrendered so easily
Hoping he felt the same
But the only fool was me

Oh gosh...been there.  Here is my conclusion:

He is the fool.  He missed out on the beauty of you!

Beautifully written.  I know exactly how you feel.  I am starting to think of him (my little fool) in a different light now. "He Fancies Himself" tells of my revelation.
