Everyone Pretends Sometimes

Just a poem about being in love with your best friend.

No

I'm not bitter.

I don't hate you

for being a quitter.

I wish you well

on your stroll to Hell

Your Banshee is cute

as she plays Pied Piper's flute

But it's okay

I'll be fine

I'll stop pretending

that you're mine

You're right.

You never made an oath.

But you should have never pretended

to be looking after us both.

You built up my hopes.

You built up my dreams.

And with this new girl

you've ripped them up from the seams

I hear that she's lovely

and as smart as a rock

I guess I'm just jealous.

Her heart has no lock.

Good luck with that

I wish I could say

I wish I could move on

or just run away

It's killing me now

with a pain I can't hide

I can't tell you "No"

Or push you aside

I want you to leave

but please do come back

in fact, just ignore me

I've had a six pack

Yes

I am falling apart

while I hold you together

and watch your love grow

with a new girl

I know

She will hold the hands I was meant to hold

She will take all the good

And I'll do as I'm  told

I can't take anymore

But I'm not quite so bold

I can't tell you no

I can't stand to leave

My life without you?

I can't be forced to believe

I want you so bad

It's unfair to me, you know

Why can't I be as appealing

as my beautiful foe?

Why am I damned with a curse

called a friend

when all I can do

is sit and pretend

Pretend I don't love him

that he's just my best friend

He loves me like a sister

When will this tragedy end?
