I'm nobody's fool
but dammit
I'll be a fool for you
ya toss around sweet words
like pennies into a wishing well
but they don't flatter me
they just ease my descent into hell
you tell me that ya miss me like crazy
that living for my touch is what keeps ya going
that your world is muddy
without my beauty to clear the view
ya tell me that ya wanna make love to me
but ya cant say i love
and me
I'm nobody's fool
but dammit
I'll be a fool for you
I let you in over & over & over again
tellin myself
we can be just friends
but I look at you
& pieces of my eternal soul
become inflamed
they fly as ashes
then fall to ground
my heart does just the same
I sit here now
with the juice of you
still moist on my thighs
& I wonder
why
I fell again
I can't even bring myself to cry
cuz the nearness of you
it's still thick on my skin
but I know
that will wear thin
and the tears will flow
cuz despite the sweetness that ya toss in the air
for me
you'll never really care
I'm nobody's fool
but dammit
I'll be a fool for you
I have been from the first message we exchanged
and some things
they just never change.
