Hopeless Romantics

Why do fools fall in love?
It is the drug that inspires their faux pas
With their heart they quench fires
Too blind to see a scared soul
They know when it is hopeless, yet hopelessness drives them
Ever ready to bleed a vein open
Smiling though the blood drips from their eyes
I’m tough, I’m tough, until you fall for love
Emotions will drain you to death
Are you not always at the receiving end?
