Foolish Heart

You take a deep breathe, but the nerves never fade
Stare across the room but see a blank face
Feel used and foolish for letting it in
Falling speechless when eyes meet

Thought you were strong
Walking away and hoping to never look back
Never knowing you'll be back sooner than you think
Avoiding the pain, and letting tears fall

Apologies continue to form from your mouth
Words spoken don't mean as much now
Eyes still stained with tears
Fear of letting them fall

Ignorance was never the answer
Looks can be deceiving
Words can be misleading
But suffering is optional

Distant memories
On repeat like a broken record
Not forgotten, but hidden
Brought back by just a glance

Love never existed between these four walls
Never did get through the cracks
Couldn't penetrate this heart
wouldn't let it from the start

Never said falling would be fun
Just a game that couldn't be won
When it's between a foolish girl,
And the boy who has her heart..
