Love Poem: A Fools Game

A Fools Game

I was pulled to her - drawn by some unseen force - from the first time I saw her, 
somehow I knew she would hurt me.  But there is a crazy part of all of us - a 
correlation between intentional pain and fascination - Sort of like playing with fire -
 You know it will burn you - But somehow you can’t resist touching the flame…

That was always the best way I could describe my love for her.  Part of me 
ALWAYS knew she would hurt me - Still I couldn’t stop myself - There were times 
I was so sure she loved me more than anyone she ever loved - And equally sure 
at others she never loved me at all - CONSTANTLY torn between hope and 
doubt - Playing a fools game - Believing I was the difference - That my love would 
change the outcome - But like all games fools play - There was no way for me to 
win.
