Fools

You let yourself believe
all the lies
that he painted for you.
That he really loved you,
that he really cared,
kind of sad, isn't it?

I tried to tell you,
I told you it was too good to be true,
you never listened to me.
But, I keep in the
"I told you"s and
the "Should have known better"s

and I take you in,
as a best friend should,
soothing you,
cursing him
to hear your wet laughter,
because I don't know what else to do.

instead of with him,
you're stuck with me tonight.
I stay awake, hugging you close,
listening to the sobs,
feeling the pangs of sympathy,
jealousy.

we're both fools in love,
I more than you,
you let yourself love,
I couldn't even do that
too scared
to be hurt.

you've lost your faith in fairytales,
as have I.

A/N: Kinda silly, now that I think about it. Oh heck.
