Poetry: Pretending

by Tanya Bainbridge

Created on: March 13, 2010   Last Updated: September 07, 2010

I pretend not to notice the tears on my face

I pretend not to care, but in my heart it is not the case.

I pretend not to see that your with somebody new,

I pretend as I walk on by that I didn't see you.

I pretend when someone asks how you've been.

I pretend that I am okay and that we still are friends.

I pretend so no one can see the hurt I feel inside.

I pretend to others but, to myself I can not hide.

I pretend that you never left me and broke my heart in two.

I can't pretend any longer I have to get over you.
