Foolishly

 It all becomes much clearer

as the journey nears to the end,

that the pain felt in the heart 

is what we had to contend. 

I thought it all must be lessons

one each time my heart broke, 

but that wasn't my story as 

I wouldn't have made it a joke. 

No tears today are falling

my emotions are quite still, 

it's not that I am no longer caring

but that I might of lost the will.

Days of long ago 

appear like a glimpse of yesterday,

reminders of the choices 

that I foolishly made.
