Merisha Beckles Poet I do not know?

Naivety

I called him today…
The guy I like
but cannot have.

We spoke for three minutes…
The guy I want,
but cannot have.

He said nothing much 
That made any sense.

Does any guy?!

He wants to hang up!
The guy I called,
but cannot have.

She was there…
The girl he loves,
and go home too at nights.

Maybe we’ll meet tomorrow…
he said.

We’ll have lunch!
The guy I sleep with and cannot have.

Maybe I whisper.

Maybe I’ll get a guy to love
and who comes home at night

I may be her one day.

Cooking and cleaning for the guy 
I love and who comes home at night.

He’ll hold me and cradle me at nights,
kiss me, just for the sake of kissing.

Bring home dinner,
so I won’t  have to hassle 
to prepare any.

Forget everyone and everything.
And have only me in mind.

Maybe…

Maybe one day,

I’ll be that naïve.
