“Silly Old Fool”
God help me…
That I still believe in love at first sight
That I can still trust despite life’s vicious bite
That I can still find a way...
Even after having that trust violated time and again
When those nearest and dearest have bared fangs
And clawed at my back…
When the scars healed…
I forgave and forgot the attack
God help me…
To walk in this world and seek the fresh and new
Among decay and rot
To help from not becoming so jaded
I would lament what I do not have
And be blinded to what I have got
There’s this gift been bestowed…
Nothing earned…
Nothing owed…
That was never asked for nor desired
Tried so hard to deny it
But here at it once more
Like some automaton programmed to “self de-construct”
Not caring how…
Lost and confused
Gone astray wandering aimlessly
How is it that when I open my eyes, that i had closed to pain…
I find that I am back home…
Once again?
How is that even remotely possible?
