Following a Fool

❤

You lied, but I knew it.

You swore, but it meant nothing.

Your words, your promises,

Nothing more than hollow whispers.

I followed you, anyway.

Though, I knew the truth.

I knew it was a waste.

Still, I hoped, and I jumped,

Anxiously waiting for you to come through.

I should’ve known better,

But I did, didn’t I?

I followed after you with eyes wide open,

And you led like the blind man you are.

Who’s the bigger fool?

It’s painfully, woefully clear.

Your lies I saw through.

Though, you did not, did you?

You believed every word.

While I knew better and still leaped,

You knew not better or truer.

So, you led me happily,

Into a trap laid out for us both.

Who’s the bigger fool?

I know. It’s me, only me.

You lied, but I knew it.

You swore, but it meant nothing.

Your words, your promises,

Nothing more than hollow whispers.

I followed you, anyway.

Though, I knew the truth.

I knew it was a waste.

Still, I hoped, and I jumped.

Perhaps, it was me all along.

Who was in the wrong.

For, you were the liar,

But I knew better,

And I followed anyway.
