Foolish Games

by Monica *Gemini* - Not entered

You took your coat off, stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that...
and I watched from my window always
felt I was always outside
looking in......
you're always the mysterious one with
dark eyes and careless hair you were
fashionably sensitive 
but too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway
with nothing to say
besides some comment on the weather.
In case you failed to notice,
in case you failed to see
this is my heart bleeding before you
it sits me down on my knees and these
foolish games are tearing me apart
and your thoughtless words are
breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.

You were always brilliant
in the morning
smoking your cigarettes
and talking over coffee,
your philosophys an art Baroque moved you
you loved Mozart.
and you'd speak of your loved ones
as I clumsily strummed my guitar.
you teach me of honest things
things that are daring,
things that are clean,
things that knew what an honest dollar did mean.
I hid my soiled hands
behind my back.
somewhere along the line I must have gone
off track with you.
excuse me,
thing I've mistaken you for
somebody else
somebody who gave damn
somebody more like myself.
and these.....
foolish games 
are tearing , you're tearing me
you're tearing me apart.
and your, 
thoughtless words are
breaking my heart.........
you took your coat off
stood in the rain
you were always crazy like that.....


Reason for writing:

    This is a song by Jewel that I listened to after I wrote My Lover.
