fool, let him go

so, about that guy i told you about,
i had to let him go.
i wasn't eating, couldn't sleep:
it was love with a ghost.
another man who don't want me
after the way i hurt him;
it is someone else's chance.
who can say "i'm sorry" enough
to turn a head, bend an ear?
it does not matter when his choice is clear,
cause he doesn't write to
tell me sink or swim:
he doesn't know the fool i've been.
this time ate at my insides,
just like all the other times
my heart wasn't guarded
and i fell matter into mind
in love.
