Playing Pretend

Jaded dreams

Broken wings

Beautiful love

That now only stings.

 

You’re my love

You’re my everything

You’re my dream…

But I’m just not your ‘thing’.

 

I’m not her

I could never be

The one you’d give up everything for

Like you are for me…

 

I have dug this hole

Using faith and hope

But then I realized truth

And knew I couldn’t cope.

 

But I need you

And so I’ll pretend

That you love me like her

Until finally my heart will no longer mend.

I love the gentle expression of the poem. The first stanza was exceptional. "You're my love
You're my everything" really sows together the entire piece.
Nice read.
