Fool

How much of a fool
can I be
How many tears 
could I possibly swallow
How many days 
should I cross out in my calendar
before I say
it's impossible for me
to forget.
And I will, I shall not
do so.
'For my words
were all coming
from the heart.
And I will, I shall not
betray
the one thing that keeps me alive.


How much of a fool can I be.
