An Oftentimes Fool


As I placed my foot on this road again, there was that momentary hesitation, that fleeting moment of questioning. Then I looked up, looked at you, and ran ahead.

My heart, oh simple foolish heart, don’t you know what road this is? Don’t you know that at the end of the tunnel is not light but hurt? Not joy but that throbbing ache at the bottom of your belly that threatens to break open your chest. Not smiles but tears at night on a lonely pillow.

Maybe this one is different. Maybe this time the answer will be yes.

Please?
