I once played the fool for you, now I find myself facing the truth. When once I loved you, and even saw us together until the end of time, now I see a lonely path ahead of me. One filled with shadows, yet I walk it with a smile upon my face. The wound you created runs deep, but I feel no more pain. For when you laid with him, you lost me; I just did not know at the time. I once played the fool for you, but no longer will my tears fall for you. My heart has gone cold and my mind has pushed you out. No longer will I be that fool that loved you without reason, but I will forget you for all the reasons that you tried to hide from me. Your words will no longer fall on my ears with the pain you intend them to strike, nor will your action affect my thoughts. Once I played the fool, so far in love with you that I lost track of what was in front of me. Now my eyes have opened and what I have seen almost destroyed me from within, but time has shown me that you saw me as your fool and so you tried to show the world just how I would fall over you, but now the world sees that I can stand tall. You search for reason to right your wrong, but your search is in vain. For the only wrong I did was to be your fool. But no more will you see me, no more will I be lost within who you were. For my heart has closed and my mind will no longer dwell on you, for I will never play your fool again.
I wrote this poem in 15 minutes on a blackberry on a night that I was drinking and smoking, and had realized that I was an idiot. the next day when I looked it over i only edited one word out of it.
