Love Poem: Fool Me Once

Fool Me Once

You fooled me once with sunlit words of delusion 
no more daydreams lost in sweet illusion.

So fine-looking and charming you were once
I would goo-goo eye and drool your fine looks 
as soon as you smiled I was in your hooks
My flaky judgments didn't mean I was a dunce

You like to pick, kick, watch and wear a crown 
constant mocking making me out a fool
as you drank your Coors beer on your stool 
proving to be a buffoon and a clown

Cruel thoughts innately placed in my brain
to want to stay and try to work things out
With name-calling whirling about you lout
I've wasted my time, I will not remain
