To Know Me

You see me on the train

We pass the time of day

You smile invitingly

And try delighting me

But I've seen this play-out before

I'm not what you're here looking for

Though I notice that look in your eyes

I implore you to take my advice

You don't want to know me

I give you fair warning

You don't want to know me

Don't bother exploring

I could easily fall for you now

But that's not something I will allow

It's for your own good

Because hurt you I would

You don't want to love me

Don't give me your heart strings

You don't want to trust me

I know how the bee stings

Keep it a fantasy

Some things you should not see

To think what could have been

Is better than

Missing what used to be

You don't want to know me
