We Are Fools

Fools...
That's what we are
You and I, all of us
Playing this game
We call love
Investing our time
For a little attention
For a morsel of affection
For a dollop of love
To nourish our heart
That is slowly eaten by pain
That is gradually harden by time
We play this game
Trading feelings
Hoping to win in the end
Happiness is the prize
That is so fleeting, it doesn't last
And when it flies away
We start the game again
And the cycle continues with no end
We are fools
Falling in and out
Of love's game
