Attempting to love

I wrote a letter
Dropping it into this dry well.
The sound echoed
Where the letter braces
Upon the untouched bottom.
I am the fool.
I know this liquid truth,
And I embrace it
Half-heartedly
In complete embrace.
I have loved,
And every woman
So loved by me
Knew it was foolish
To love a jester.
Some had tried,
And some succeeded
In loving, or attempting to love
This fool-hearted man.
To a small extent it all
Has made me a less
Miserable fool.
I fill the well
With cold water
So I may swim around,
And around, and around it
Like the goldfish I never had.
