Only fools fall in love

Only fools fall in love

And I guess I am one of them

 

For you; you knew I would fall
And think about you whenever I wake
Little did I know that you had a cruel heart
And eventually got bored of your fun game

 

You would call me your Cupcake

Your Jewel 

Your Sweetheart

And in vain I let my heart make a pact

To be forever yours

Our love was like a piece of art

We could make it whatever we wanted

It did not matter who attacked 

Because you would never let my day go dark

It started off as little cracks

Which then began to collapse

Soon enough I felt like a ghost

Of whom you refused to interact

I arrogantly ignored the truth

Of who you were

And what you had become

My mother had once told me

That only fools fall in love

That life is not a fairytale 

And princes do not ride up on white horses

I wish I had listened to her

Because I now know she is right

Only fools fall in love

And I guess I am one of them

A very good poem; I have to agree with you about "Fools fall in love", because when anyone is in they will do the most foolish acts when seeking the approval of the opposite sex.

You have written a wonderful poem by using the famous saying,"Only fools fall in love".
May I complement you by adding the following statement?
"One gets mad when falls in love"

[Suditi]

True.
Everybody's rational mind tells them that love is foolish! But that doesn't keep us from falling in love!
A nice write.
