fool

how foolish of me to think

you would ever love me

when her and i polarize

she’s cold and distant

i just get too close

she hides everything

underneath so well

as if it’s not there at all

while i am an open fire

when it comes to feelings

she’s quiet and enigmatic

and i’ve never met anyone

more opinionated than myself

she knows how to give you

just what you want

but i don’t have a clue

how to even hold your hand

her hair is dark and shiny

and her gaze glints as cold ice

while i hide my ocean eyes

behind wild honey locks

after tears pour from them

like rivers because of

how foolish it is of me to think

i still have a chance.
