A Fool

I underestimated the search,

and came out a fool.  
I looked for answers everywhere,
and everywhere found ghouls.  
I journeyed through the lowest valleys,
and with shadows as my fuel.
I searched for this thing you call love,  
and the love I found was cruel.
I've been to Mecca but I’m no pilgrim,
I will always be a mule.

Beautifully rhymed and metered. Could easily be set to music. Nice work.

When it comes down to it, I guess we've all been a fool for love at one time or another.
