Fool's Gold

I was caught in a stalemate

Between heart and mind,

And Love stood

To knock me blind.

At every step I begged

Reason to reign

But Charm was a stronger

Ball and chain.

I finally fell,

My hands on the ground,

You captured my heart,

Had it gagged and bound.

Silence at last

From the lies you told—

I gave you my heart,

And you gave me fool’s gold.
