Love Once Made Me a Fool (Submitted for LashawnScott 92 love poem challenge)

 
For years I was convinced what we had was true
I loved you with pure innocence through and through

Love is not selfish or puffed up with pride
Nor should it be so painful that I would rather die

I gave you my trust which is hard for anyone to obtain
I let you in, my soul now cries out like a torrential down pour of rain

How could you be so cruel and play around with my heart
You swore to me we would ALWAYS be together and never part

All that endearment was bull and your kisses were fake
You are nothing more than a low down slimy withering snake

I once thought you were the absolute best; you really are the worse
I even called you a blessing; you are a damn curse

I abhor love and all her games and rules
Never again; Love once made me a fool
