Foolish Woman.

Foolish woman…

You did what no one should.

Told him you love him

And yearned for a look

That speaks.

Clasped his hot hand

In yours,

Pressed it firm between your own,

Kissed it,

When you should not,

And soaked it in tears.

Your eyes spill

Tides, and bitter is the taste

Of scalding sorrow

That's wasted on what cannot be.
