Foolish Heart

I laid down so many times,
with not her by my side,
waiting for nights sleep to come,
so I might dream of her.

Though not by my side,
her love was in my heart,
there to comfort me,
just like she was there.
 
Now longing fills my heart,
for the way that things were,
though it all be over,
as the end has come and gone.

Still I thank God, 
for this pain, heartache and sorrow,
for it does teach me a value filled lesson,
in the price I must pay for my foolish ways.

But when will I learn, why do I forget,
that love, it can be ever so fragile,
and unforgiving to forget,
the little things we do, not right,
mistakers as we be.

So paid is the price again and again,
as I lose a lover, my woman and friend,
and the once holder of my too foolish heart.
