Fool (King of Nothing).

* Inspired by various song titles *

~~~
So here we go again - it's another name and another time.
I'll be the one still standing on my own - left to pick up the shattered remains.

Conflicted internally, regaining self worth - I could never understand your exploding smile.

I won't let you know, because I'm merely a fool - I've only myself to blame.
~~~

Time will heal all wounds - the memory will linger like an unsightly scar.

I'll steady my broken crown, with fingers raking against the wall.

To forgive and forget for the sake of happiness - too tired to fight this fascination.

I'll be the one to punish myself - yet always fearing another fall.

~~~
I'll search for that familiar, healing presence as the walls will begin to crumble.

Wrapped up in loving 'arms' - they'll squeeze with protection behind a closed door.

For then, I am sheltered - mesmerized at the thought of them coming home.

Just one more letter for blinding happiness - unsent across the floor.

~~~
It's too bad that you're so beautiful - and yet you are also complicated.
We both know that in the end, I'll come back to you - you know I always do.

For I'm just a fool - a King of Nothing.

Ignorant to these promises made in the heat of the moment - to the vows that are broken in two.
