Playing the Fool

I feel foolish

Having given so much

Of myself to you

Knowing

That I am not

YOUR PERSON

I am not the one

With whom you share

Your hopes and dreams

When we’re alone

It seems as though

There is nobody around

Save for the two of us

And when we are apart

I am forgotten

You call out to someone else

When things are new

You call upon another

When things get tough

You reach out your hand

To hold those which aren’t mine

And I am left on the side-line

With no clue

How to play the game
