FOOLS GOLD

We stepped back into a familiar place. Promised each other we'd see this thing through. Never losin' our view. Makin' it past the empty space. 

Thought we had each other's backs. Oh what a fool. A fool I’ve been. I just wanted to believe. You wouldn't do it again. 

The one question that keeps comin' up. Is how could you? Go back to what you knew? When you told me. You and her were through. 

Thought you were tired. Of the flip-floppin’. Oh wait. That's me. Like an old vinyl record. That keeps skippin’. I just must be trippin’. 

Even though I kept choosin’ you. Come to find out. I truly believe. You ain't nothin' but fools gold. I was so naive. This time I'm investin' and bettin'. I’m all in. All in on me. Because all the time I spent loving you got old. Much too old for me.

I use contractions myself. But I hear, for poetry, it's not a good idea. F**k it. I liked it anyway. (and I won't flip flop on that) I use contractions myself.
