PRETENCE

PRETENCE

You pretend like you care,

When you see me cry.

You pretend you feel the pains I feel,

When I needed you the most.

Out there, there are many of me,

But in my presence,

You wished you could always be with me,

That was all pretence.

You pretend I make sense, but deep down you,

I made no sense.

You force a smile on your face,

And pretend like all is well,

You joked with me, laughed at my jokes,

But all were pretence.

Now I know you never meant those words,

They were all pretence.
