A Fool

by amanda-shelton

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 mistaken-ed 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. ©️ 2024 By Amanda Shelton
