Nobody likes a naive poet

by: shira

My poetry
Wants to tell you things I can't
But these words manipulate me
Into thinking I'd let you read them

Don't be mistaken
I mean no harm
I meant no attachment
And that's all I've accomplished

I hate the way I love
I know it's young
To let yourself feel
And that's why they say I'm naive

I'll take you in a second
If I can make you smile for a minute
There's time between
Instinct and decision
That should be bathed in flames
And admired for its smoke

Oh, I still want you now
If that makes you happy
Since I've forgiven
And done my best to forget
They say I'm naive
