I'm a Fool to Want You

I’m a fool 

to want you

I’m a stringless kite

and you’re the sky

The ground doesn’t want me

yet I can’t much fly

I’m a fool

to hold you

I’m a child’s toy boat

and you’re the sea

I’m forlorn on the shore

yet your waves break me

to want a love 

that can’t be true

I'm a buoy on the tide
and you're the moon

I'm pulled by your body
a tethered balloon
