Naïve

By Charlie Z

I know you think I’m naïve to wear my heart on my sleeve and that I don’t see the truth but I do.

I just don’t want to believe

I let someone in that uses me then leaves like you.

I didn’t want to question

The love or affection or stop hoping that you’d be mine.

Because why have emotion if only remains the notion

That nothing matters over time.

I feared I would hurt as I do now if I let my guard down For you.

Yet I did Foolishly Hoping that maybe

My fears wouldn’t come true.

So maybe I am naïve to want to believe what I know isn’t the truth.

Because although I hate it a small part of me still longs to be with you.
