Such a fool as I must be.
One word or symbol from you,
My heart skips beats while my body thrills through.
Such foolishness of body and heart.
For I knew better before I allowed it to start.
I knew you would never, could never be true.
Still I hoped for the impossibility of love from you.
Even now, after all of this.
A single word reminds me of your kiss.
Though I know it was never real,
Your warmth and humor I miss.
Who is this stranger in your place?
One who rants and raves, turning red in the face?
One who listens to nothing, cares only for himself,
Who wants only to hurt me,
Stores his heart on the shelf.
If only I had listened to the warnings in my mind,
That told me you were false, never truly kind.
But I ignored, listened instead to my heart.
So here we are at war, throwing poisoned darts.
Now I must pretend, must hide any feelings for you.
Bury them deep inside.
No more weapons shall I give to this enemy,
Though yesterday I wanted him always by my side.
Never again shall I let this be.
Never again ignore.
The pain I feel is mine to bear,
I could have avoided this particular snare.
Dead shall I be to such things from now on.
No temptation will I allow.
No one will penetrate that far.
I shall be good, and kind, and fair,
This though, my heart, will stay locked up.
I will not care.
Thus will I avoid any more of your kind.
No more like you, my love, mine enemy,
Will gain entrance to my mind.
