A Poem by Estelle..
Foolishness Defined
Pretending to live in the past
Believing that things would turn out
The way you said they were going to be
Crossing the line between patience
And doormat
Accepting one too many apologies
Allowing myself to succumb
To your every whim
Turning the cheek with every blow
Waiting alone
Holding onto a word rather than the substance behind it
Wasting tears and time
That can never be returned
Pining over what used to be
It is only clear to see. . .
That the definition of foolish
Is me.

Waiting alone
Holding onto a word rather than the substance behind it
Wasting tears and time
That can never be returned
Pining over what used to be
It is only clear to see. . .
That the definition of foolish
