Pretending

Sometimes, I like to pretend you care...

Somehow, I create a different life.

Instead of being gone, you're right there...

I distance myself from the knife.



You never broke my heart in two...

You didn't lie about what you felt.

You're only my friend but it's so true...

that I care about nothing else.



It's great to imagine this place...

where tears no longer run.

No painful expression on my face...

I don't cut myself when I come undone.



This dream is simply "nirvana" for me...

I no longer fight myself.

No more hiding problems but letting the world see...

and actually letting you help.



Reality soon enters my mind...

I know that I am full of hate.

I'll smile and pretend I'm fine...

I'll try my hardest not to break.
