Fool
By: Alicia J. Buckingham
I was a fool
To believe in his lies
His words of happiness
And joy.

I was a fool
To fall in love
With his bright smile
And penetrating eyes.

I was a fool
To need his embrace
And to need his
Soft lips against mine

I was a fool
To hold his hand
And to laugh with him
While walking on the beach.

But was I a fool
For leaving him?
Or was he the fool
For tricking me?
