The Face Of A Fool Poem by Ray Hansell

When her tears start to fall
My heart sinks like a ship
I reach out to wipe her tears away
But I see the spot I missed
Her cheeks are stained from her tears
My heart is breaking in two
I took from her all her love
I gave her nothing in return
She tells me that I’m selfish
She tells me that I’m cruel
You know she might be right
Today when I looked in the mirror
All I saw was the face of a fool
