A Fool

How foolish am I?
To think it couldn't happen again.
That someone could change
That love could transform the selfish
And I wouldn't get hurt again.

I give up.
I don't need companionship.
I don't need help with my life.

If I fight
Will anything change?
If I speak truth
Will any of it stick?
Or will it just be spun
Or lost in a tangent
Or twisted?

How quickly nothing happened
Words forgotten
And peace is maintained
Just long enough
To lull my senses.

So cliché
It's almost unreal
There's no way
I become a statistic
A perfect description
Of a bruised and tattered soul.
Am I too kind?
Am I naive?
Fooled once
And twice?

Where is my limit
As I cave to the tears
And then an hour later
Witness the same malice
The same violent temper
The same shrieking voice
As though my boundaries don't matter
Anyway?

I will not be spoken to that way
I will not be treated that way
I will not watch others be hurt that way
That way will not happen
If there is to be a relationship.
