Stupidity

this one's an oldy but a goody :)
*********************************

Stupidity.
Someone told me
I would love you
Stupidly --
like I
didn't know
like I
wasn't scared
Stupidly --
I lost you
I stupidly
got you back,
Like I wouldn't
be stupid again
Faithfully
I sang this song
at the top
of my lungs
I make sense
I make
sense
of you.
I make
sense
so I won't be
loving stupidly
Some laughed
That -- stupidly
you don't love me
you can't see
you don't know
you need me,
stupidly.
Be wrong,
be sorry
be too late
to laugh back.
Stupidly --
someone claimed
that I stupidly
loved a man
stupid enough
to convince himself
to not
love me back . . .

*Stupidly
I went back,
claiming greatness
and loved you anyways . . .
stupid maybe.
