A Lesson In Foolishness

by Jenni Marie   Jun 2, 2008


And as I nestle in your once comforting arms
Well aware I'm in for another restless night
Tossing and turning seems to have become usual
When there used to be nothing but security and trust

And as I roll over to watch you sleep so peacefully
Wonder how you easily keep up this charade
Love you more than I ever thought possible
Yet whenever I look at you, left with self loathing

How can I feel so many conflicting emotions
You promised that I was the only one for you
How funny that lies can spill so easily from your lips
For you failed to mention that I was never enough

Isn't it ironic that I was never one for drama
Yet I've suddenly become oodles of giant cliche
Wary for so long, so very careful not to get hurt
Now my heart's in your hand and already cracking

Believed in every word you ever whispered to me
Thought that this time the fairytale really would last
You're more Dangerous Beast than Prince Charming
How terribly foolish of me to believe in happy ever after

And now my heart is falling from your slipping hands
Splintering into pieces as it finally hits the floor
Just another million pieces for the duct tape and glue
{Oh how terribly cliche our fairytale has become}
