I Feel Like a Fool

Do you even miss me?
Do you even care that I am gone?
I suppose not,
I mean,
I always knew that I didn't matter,
that much to you.
Unless you wanted something that is.
I feel like a fool,
for falling into your trap so many times.
I feel like a fool,
for trusting you when I knew I shouldn't have.
But most of all,
I feel like a fool,
for letting you in when I shouldn't have,
because all you did was destroy me,
and make me more wary,
than I already was.

&quot;I figure life is a gift and I don&#039;t intend on wasting it. You don&#039;t know what hand you&#039;re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you...to make each day count.&quot;

Wow. Honestly, speechless. You described what has inspired me to write all my poems in this specific one. I have been trapped in a relationship like this for a VERY long time & this just wow. It reached out to me more than I could describe. My favorite definitely. (:

LOVED IT!:) I only have ONE suggestion. I think at the end you should say, "I am a fool." I just think it would give it more OOMPH. Lol. But other than that, it is really good. :) Great job! :))
