Poet-Fool {too} - 1 from the archives (1993)

      POET - FOOL { TOO }

Has anyone ever given
   you their everything?
In your pain filled hours,
   did you ever understand
   our words?
Understand them now -
If we have to choose -
Being alone or,
   trying to love someone new.
We’d rather be without you.

Has anyone ever given you
   their everything?
How long did you give
   your everything back?
Like we did -
And if we give you
   nothing again.
This concerto’s for you.

When the pain tumbles down
when you’re full of worries
   and you have doubts.
It seems it will be easy for you.
Since you couldn’t be happy with “us”.
At least you will be happy
   with your choice.

Has anyone ever written their
   everything to you?
In your pain filled hours -
   did you ever understand
   our thoughts?
Understand us now -
If we have to choose -
Being alone or,
   trying to love someone new.
We’d rather be without you.

When the pain crashes in.
And you’re full of worries
And you have doubts.
Remember your
   prince - of nothing
your
   poet - fool.
And all he could give to you.
