Fool Heart Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

Fool-Heart

My fool heart
I have warned you a thousand times
Love is precious only in its prime
Dont rush in, you will crush
Take your time, dont expect much
Now your tears are flowing like rhymes
I think its time you grow a mind

My stupid foolish heart
I have taught you to read between the lines
Cause you have fallen too many times
A road to love is rough sometimes
I told you to never let it get to you
But I dint mean that you should
Fall in the same pitt again
I surely dint mean you should drown in the same dead sea again
Now i have to play rescue

My fool heart
When will you learn
You have misread all the signs
That is why I find myself
Losing my mind
I told you before
If it doesnt feel right from the start
Believe me it will tear you apart
Look at me now dressing your wound
In heart piercing pain you are consumed
In heartache again you have drowned
A dumb stupid heart you are crowned

My fool heart
I have told you a million times
Dont give your all from the first sight
Wait till it looks and feels alright
I have told you quadrillion times
follow yourself but take your mind along
I know you think you are too strong
But for my bleating soul' sake
Try learn from your mistakes
Cause pain will keep throwing you across the ground
Till you figure the lesson out
My dearest fool heart I think you have had enough.....
