Fool {a Dedication} Poem by Chanja Cassini de Thury

Yeah I’m a fool
Yours…
But guess what?
You’re a fool too
But your not mines
Just an ordinary simpleton
You’re a lover when convenient
And a friend when necessary
Yet….
You are neither to me
At the same time
At any time really…
You just favor the title
But shirk the responsibilities
And forget to appreciate the actual occupation
Well, let me warn you,
Be careful
Because I’m gaining some sense…
Even if I act oblivious
And you are indubitably doubtful

Yeah, I understand
Saying “I love you” is a mouthful
Smiles and joy are bland
Mouthing “thanks” requires a bargain
A fleeting look is foreign
So tell me why?
I still view you as a precious jewel?
O woe am I?
How o how
Do you still manage
To keep me
Your fool?
But one day,
Your time will come
I will walk away
Without angst
And I’ll no longer care
Why should I? There’ll be no difference because
Even while we were young
You were
Never
There……..
