Such A Fool

You repeated again and again

Reiterating what was your truth

I...

I fell for your soul

Wanted to cherish your spirit

Even as I ignored your mind

From the start I took you for granted

Loved you the way I wanted

Instead of the way you needed

Spoke of things for you 

Coincidentally those same things

Benefitted me

Now this is the aftermath...

The repercussions of my deeds

How dare I say I love you

When I failed to consider you 

For every thing to be gained

I truly deserve everything lost

Every numbing feel inherited 

As a result of my negligence
