You'Re Making A Fool Of Me Poem by Naledi Sibisi

You'Re Making A Fool Of Me



You're making a fool of me
And, please believe that I mean this not negatively;
But you're turning me into a character I'm unfamiliar with being.
Never have I found comfort in the fact that I'm thinking about someone whose mind I may not pay visits to,
then smiled to myself without the guarantee that you'd return one too.
Exposed to so many languages and gestures and phases and nothings,
A thief of the thought that this something is something.
I was convinced that you had no right to look into my eyes as though God loaned me the stars and placed them on my face,
reflecting all warmth into your gaze.
So I tremble. Not because I hostage all trust for you but because I don't trust myself with you.
I fear that I will let you lead me but if I fall, disagree you receive me.
