The Fool

You held my hand in the past
until you found someone else better.
I can't blame you for what you've done,
you deserve someone better.

Now I see you together with him,
his eyes reflecting your perfect face.
His hands holding yours.
Your heart belonging to him, now and always.

My heart slowly erodes into pieces,
each time his name escapes your lips.
A melancholic smile forms on my face,
to hide away my heart that quietly weeps.

You think of me nothing more
than just a friend.
I think of you something more.
An angel, heaven sent.

An angel given to me by God,
but foolishly I didn't see
your true worth. Not until
you got hurt and left me.

When I try to look back
at those times you were there at my side.
At those times I left you crying, at those
times I left you hurting, breaking from the inside.

I placed my face within my palms,
and tears gushed out of my eyes.
I never thought I could hurt this way.
Your love for me disappeared before I even realized.

You hold his hands and allowed yourself
to drown within his eyes. For your soul
to be reflected within his deep, loving eyes.
I'm left here with my pain and sadness.
No longer a man, but just a broken hearted fool.
