Fool

I wonder if I looked human then
A consistent questioning of who I was
Love, the farthest emotion from my soul
Completely devoid of knowing what it was
Much less understanding all that it could be
In a blink of eye you entered my life
Sweeping in on a fresh breath of air
Opening the door wide so I could see
All of the world, but most of all me
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
I could feel my love begin to grow
Burning hot and unstoppable
Then the seemingly impossible happened
I began to love without losing myself
But the day finally came
When you looked me in the eye
And without a blink said "I can not love you"
One look into your eyes told me it was true
Love was kicked back down into the black hole
I began to flinch at all my memories
The days I spoke of love to you
And finally opened up my heart
Believed in the illusion of a future
While sitting alone on a one way street
The ashes of love falling down like tears
I was such a fool to think it could be
Or that you could ever love me
