Playing the Fool

By: Shannon Leigh Cates

I know I want you,
but do I need you?
I love your smile,
but what's underneath it?
You say you want me,
but it's never the "right time."
Are you just playing with my heart,
or do you really truly care?
I wish you'd just be straight with me,
I'm tired of playing the fool.
