THE FOOL

THE FOOL

Boy meets girl and girl steals his heart
But she started using him from the very start
He was a shy boy, never said much and always humble
He would barely speak above a mumble
Girl had a son from a previous relationship
It didn't matter to him, he treated the child like it was his
Girl had some troubles of getting over her past
She always accused him of cheating and and his face she would slap
Boy would never do that, not in his wildest dreams
But she thought all men cheat and still treated hum mean
But no matter what boy still spent his last dime on the girl
Because to him, she was his entire world
Boy even threw a birthday party for her son
In the hopes of one day they would all become one
A wonderful family was what boy was thinking of
For the first time in his life, boy was really in love
But then there was an incident one day on the road
He drove her across the state and she began to explode
She accused him of cheating on him and that’s why he was broke
It was because he spent all his money on her but it was no hope
She screamed and yelled at him to get out of her life
Those words cut right through him sharper than a knife
Right there his heart was broken, his soul spilled on the ground
The world was spinning, he could only make out sounds
From that day forward, boy never came from girl again
He wished at least that they could have stayed friends
But no, just like that, she was gone like the wind
That’s when the sadness and tears start to begin
Boy never got to tell her son goodbye
That thought alone tore himself up inside
He felt so stupid, heart broken and used
Like a Jester in the King’s court he felt like such a fool.
