I Pretend

by Traci   Mar 9, 2005


I pretend it's fine
as I fake another smile
every time you lie
another piece of me dies
they ask why I stay
I tell them it doesn't
hurt that much
but inside my heart
is crushed
whats one more tear
in time it will heal
it will get better
I'll be fine I say
but, really i know
it will never change
I will live the same
long lonely night the
rest of my life

(My boyfriend is an alcoholic with this sickness i get hurt alot but i just can't leave him i love him too much! please just tell me what you think!)

    Traci,
    Your words are warm to the heart, I am sorry about your boyfriend, it is an illness that affects many of us. I have been sober for many years, if can be done, but the individual has to want it, he or she has to do it for him or herself, but it can be done. It is not his fault, it is a physical defect, once he started drinking, he was unable to stop. Always remember that!
