I’ve been down this road so many times before. <br />Fall too hard and you’ll end up on the floor, <br />like a marionette with broken strings. <br />You cut my air, just like you cut my wings. <br /> <br />Follow the routine: pain, love, hurt, love, pain. <br />What’s the difference? It’s always the same. <br />Endings were never meant to be good. <br />You played the game and took what you could. <br /> <br />Believe in what you want to, <br />I can’t convince you otherwise. <br />It takes a fool to love a fool <br />beneath half-covered lies. <br />The truth is hanging on my lips, <br />but you cast me a blinded eye. <br />So tell me what to make of this, <br />of what once had been mine. <br /> <br />You say you need to clear your head, <br />but you can’t save love if it’s already dead. <br />Now your cowardice behaviour is in my face. <br />You’re either in or you’re out, out of this place. <br /> <br />I’m scared to feel the final blow, <br />to lose the only thing I know, <br />to have a heart, but not a home. <br />Sometimes you just have to let him go…<br /><br />Loraine Lotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-one-fool-to-another/
