The Fool Poem by Catherine Hendry

Looking foolish … look at what I have done …

Feelings without meaning

Looking without SEEING

Mouth moving without speaking

Sounding stupid …

Missing what I NEVER had

Crying tears brought on because you lied

Hurting heart … I forgot NOT to care

Mistakes made

Words said

Memories created

I’ll always have them as reminders

So, I can LEARN from them!

LOVE ME, LOVE ME, LOVE ME!

This cry has worn me out …

I don’t believe I will ever KNOW that feeling …

I TRY not to be so cynical …

I believe there’s a higher power,

But I am struggling none the less...
