A Fool In Love

A Fool In Love

You know that thing they say about money?

Well I realized it can be applied to affections too.

They tell you not to spend it all in one place.

To save some.

In case all that you have today, is gone tomorrow.

What will you do then?

Will you ever love again?

How can you?

All the love you had in you is spent!

You could, I suppose, but what kind of life would that be?

You could always TAKE your life.

But we all know that is no solution, as we are all alive and well enough to be able to read this.

 

You know that thing they tell you not to do with money?

Well I did that with my affections.

I loved with my heart and soul.

I don’t know if the worst part

Is that now I have nothing left to spend but a lot to spend on

Or that I spent it all in the wrong place;

A place that was never right to begin with.

Although, I should also consider

The fact that it cost me more than my love

And I still wasn’t rich enough to afford it.

 

So I invite you now.

Come join me!

Let’s laugh at my foolishness together!

And decide together also, which one the funniest sad fraction of my life is!

For after a mistake of which you have no way out,

All that is left is mockery

And laughter insanity.

Don't spend it all in one place...this is quite interesting when used as a metaphor for affection. I've never thought of love in this way, but you have opened my eyes. It is true, so often we hold back, just in case we have need of our feelings later. To give oneself completely emotionally, and then to be left broken would leave us devoid of feeling all together. It is insanity, you are correct.

Technical issues:
Not sure why, but your formatting comes out strange (certain lines overlap others--it's probably a font issue)

[Blue Ivory]

Well I'm glad I could show you that :) And the technical thing, I think that's just your computer cuz mine's fine and no one else has complained about it.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Might be...it was doing it a moment ago again, and now it isn't.

A poem full of wisdom that an old hippie like myself really likes !

The thing about love or money is that it's great when you have them , but sometimes you can be bankrupt of one or the other or both! And I have, but fortunately I've always been able to come back.Very nice write, makes one think!

[Blue Ivory]

Thank you for your lovely words :)

[KAOlmsted]

Buyer's remorse. You'll get over it. And you'll even "spend" again. You're young, which means there is no telling you anything because you already know it all, but trust me...you'll get over it. The thing about affection is, it's an American Express...no limits. As long as you pay the minimum balance, that s**t will go on forever. Seriously. Nice work here, Siren. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[Blue Ivory]

Thanks so much for your support. It's comforting :) I'm glad you liked it.

[KAOlmsted]

Always my pleasure.

Not laughing, I live here, you'e on a roll dear Siren, this is grand, it grabs you by the throat and squeezes til you can't breathe, then the ending just flips you over for good measure! Wow, just wow....

[Blue Ivory]

I'm normally the "psshhh! I know I'm awesome" kinda person and am never into formal flattery with my friends, but I have to say I am humbled :P It's an honor to hear compliments like these from someone as talented and experienced as you.

[Frieda P]

Ha, psshhh okay that made me laugh, good on you! Hey, I only speak the truth.....
