Tears of the Fool

By: Akkiko

The tears I cry are tears of a fool.

How many times have I rejected that kind smile of yours?

The wails I throw are wails of self-pity.

Self pity that I have lost you for good.

I saw you try to talk to me.

I pushed you far away.

You tried oh so hard.

Why did I do it?

The tears that fall here echo in stillness.

They break the silence.

I hear you laugh, and my heart cries out.

You had tried, it can't be denied.

I can't forget my cruilness.

I can't forget my torturous jesting.

I can't forget that I once loved you.

I can't forget that you hate me.
