W****s Deceive and Fools Believe

I've repeated past mistakes.

F**k the fool who believed

that certain snipped mouths 

are incapable of lying deceit.

Three times the fool

you have made me.

Curse every single rule

you broke upon me.

Tired jealousy flares

and crippled wounds sigh.

Ignoring the furtive stares

I focus on getting high.

Craning my neck above

your lips mark the line

taking me by surprise

I miss the taste of wine.

Fumbling fingers on buttons

I struggle to refrain

But the weak-willed succumbs

and I'm at risk once again.

Fool change the course 

and I'm set adrift

unsure of my remorse

and unaware of your gift.

I'm forced to recall

pain in memories lived before

How sadly low I would fall

and how exposed to the core.

I hate the fool I play

You brought me down.

I'm the sad clown today

where is the sordid crown.

The fool is only queen

of the vulnerable weak

the exposed and naive

oh how the mighty receive.

Ignoring the furtive stares I focus on getting high..... aaah sweet escape!!! I really enjoyed this view into repeating past mistakes, all the while knowing you are doing it. My favorite line comes at the end;

"The fool is only queen of the vulnerable weak"

Stay strong ( : O )

This is hard hitting. We all have repeated mistakes because we so want to believe in what we hope is true. The poem is well crafted and you've done a great job with the rhyme. We are our hardest critics.
