I Was a Fool for You

I Was a Fool for You

A Poem by Blake Q Hatfield

Oh how I loved you
I wanted nothing more than to be your one
I want to be the moon to your sun
The rain to wash away your pain
The one you'd always call home
 
As time ticked by I thought I could see clearer
The future, the destiny I thought could be
But I was only becoming more blind
Denying what I saw with my very own eyes
Burying the signs pointing to what I knew was true
I'd already lost you before you let me go
 
Some will say I played the fool
That all I was is just another fling for you
A kindling in your ego's fire
A way to get what you wanted before you were through
And back in the arms of another
Sometimes I tell myself it could never be true
Whatever I believe, I'm probably still a fool
 
Things seem to die off in the cold of the winter
I try to drown out the times we were together
So I can't look at myself and say
This was the moment I should have walked away
But I was in love, I was holding on to broken strands of hope
That this was real, that this could be true
But when reality hit my heart was torn and scarred
As the present yields to become the past
I try to avoid looking back in hurt confusion or regret
But taking as a lesson learned and knowledge gained
The questions quiet as I've learned to bury the need for "why"
And accept that once, I was a fool for you

I like the conclusion. Sometimes that is what love is all about "being a fool for you". Nicely written!
