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.

Your life
A whirlwind
I hate.
Its hard not to
Despise you too.
I wonder
Are you a victim,
Or devious controller,
Of your life,
And

without you? That's something I cannot see

Out on a limb,
filled with regret,
balancing my act,
with no safety net.
Hovering on the edge
of uncertainty,
barely containing
by Lyn Adaway
Electronic Mongrel
.
This secret I avoided
Didn’t share with you
I’m really half android
Please hear me through
