Pretending
I like to pretend things are okay,
But reality is not today.
I will come and hold you tight,
And then make love to you in the night.
I will whisper I love you in your ear,
And your eyes will tell me what I desire to hear.
I am happy in this world of mine,
Until you tell me it’s my own design.
Things are not happy, as they seem,
And the reality will tear you at the seams.
I do not wish to hurt you,
But what you are doing is sure to.
I cannot help it I want you near,
And not to pretend is what I fear.
If I let go of this,
I fear too much I will miss,
I will truly miss that kiss.
I fear I will loose this bliss,
My heart cannot exist,
You will be hard to resist.
I like to pretend,
But I know it will only hurt me in the end
