The Fool

The fool sat around in the sidelines, as always, and watched with wide eyes as he walked away again, a different person on his side yet again. She saw the way he looked at her. That warmth in his eyes. She recognized it, because that's the warmth she felt in herself every time she looked at him. That feeling of being complete and whole and loved.... But he didn't love her. His eyes never turned warm when he looked at her. Instead every time she looked at him, he turned away, sighing quietly, wondering when it would end. Wondering when she would stop thinking about him.

She wondered too, when would it end. When would she stop being the fool. But she knew it would only end when she stopped loving him, only when she threw him out of her life. When she closed herself up so totally, all over again, that no one, and this time not a single soul could come and ruin her personal paradise. Nobody would be allowed through those thick, thick walls. Every time she prepared herself for it, he'd come back again and tear them down, just like that. Just because he could. For the fun of it maybe. To see the light in her eyes, for those brief seconds, when she thought, she finally had him...
And then he'd kiss her on her forehead and be on his way. Laughing and sighing silently, for she'd fallen for it again. The fool that she was! Haha.

Not anymore. This, definitely was the last straw. The one thing he had despised most about her, he went right out and did exactly that. The Hypocrite. But she wasn't doing it anymore, falling for his two words of love. NEVER.

This was the end of the fool. She would have to kill that heart that was beating for him. Kill it because if he knew it was hidden, he'd play his games again. Not again.

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn"
