I Can Be Naïve

Most of my lusty ways,
Have been primarily delusional.
I will admit to it.

Most of those lofty expressions I make,
Are spoken to entertain...
The nimbleness of my own brain.

I admit there is a wall,
Behind a façade I've installed.
Only to protect what others do not suspect.

I can be naïve.
Sensitive and easily crushed.
By anyone I've selected...
Who has the nerve to refuse my lust!
