Love’s Fool
By Shawn M. Johnson
2-4-10
True love isn’t for me
I go through the motions
Without knowing love’s true identity
I’m looking for the one
Sad as some think it to be
The right woman for me
A woman who can be strong
And stand beside me
But when the trials
Reveal their obstacles
I stand, prepared to fight
The woman becomes a girl and runs
So here I go again
While I don’t mind making them
I’m not looking for friends
But so many times I’m left to break
Damn a heart that has to feel pain
In dark corners, I cry alone
No one has strength in heartache
I’m still looking high and low
If the right woman is reading this
I need you more than you know
I want to hold you, kiss you, love you
You have yet to know
How good I’ll treat you
I need my angel, please
I’m sick of the darkness I bleed
But despite everything
My resolve stays strong
I won’t give up looking for real love
It’s what I need
Something I won’t give up seeking
Until I unmask the truth
Through the demons
I will cut through
Through the false girls
That deceptively say “I love u”
With their blackened heart
These witches of a snake tongued art
The reason I feel so hurt
Why all my emotions feel burnt
These assassins of love
For too long a time, I have bled
Seeking love has left blood covered red
If you tear off my flesh
You will where my wounds live
Death and love torture me
Their intent is the same
To make me insane
Love is cruel
But I’ll keep chasing it
Because I’m love’s fool
