Sonnet For A Fool

Lights out, the show is over, there she stands Four years and waiting, a persistent fool Once again he rushes towards her command False hope and stubbornness, Fate why so cruel? Again he tries to relight the dying flame Only to be burned, thus starts his relapse “Goodbye,” she said, gone as quick as she came Singing to empty bottles till he collapsed “Although I can’t love you as a lover… I’ll love you as a friend,” last words on stage Bloody, his corpse for her to discover Three words he should have said lost in the pages One lesson, never fall for your best friend Love is a two way street not a dead end.
