Best Not To Poem by maria goodison

I may not be your shining star and a little unauthorised to make
the cut.
A little weird you often say different but not in a good way, I find
you hard to understand a mind field with every step that I take.
I may not be dressed to the nines or have that fairy face but oh my
sweet I'm so much more then you give me credit for.
And if you should be plagued by your own deeds that you have laid
please remember not my home address or number or even that I'm
alive.
For I see no reason for us to chat or meet for coffee pretending that
we once knew each other and there were no bad words, no wrong
account, no nasty stabbing in the dark.
Let's just leave how we began and smile nicely at each other nodding
Our heads without a word.
