Fool Or Not For Love A Poem


I am a fool for love
So much so
I could write books
And songs.
All my past infatuations
That went nowhere
All those rejections
That still haunt and sting
Some even bringing
Fresh tears.

What if anything
Will it take
For a love of mine
To be reciprocated?
Not being unrequited
Like in the past?
Is it just my choice in men?
Is something so
Utterly broken
And unlovable
About me?
Is it an unpardonable sin
To want to be loved?
That once they see
How they affect my heart
In the other direction they run?
Is it thought some kind of trap?

Being a fool for love
One must sharpen
Their tongues
And virtual pens
To Lamentations.
They don't necessarily need
To be shared with the world
Unless someone
Is seeking commiseration.
Alas, I fall into that category
Quite often.

I should feel relief
In one respect
I have thankfully
Never had
An abuser
Or a stalker
Not to make light
Of another's terrible experience
Just taking solace in
Not furthering
My own suffering.

Fool or not
Love is what
I seek
And have sought
With success
Little to none.
Fool that I am
I am not ready to give up.
Won't you please
Wish me luck.
