Pretending

by oh the tragedy   Apr 1, 2007


The clinging of my words hanging on your lips
i see them fall down into slow motion as you scream
i never learned to keep my word
you never understood what i was trying to say

my heart, i repeat every time you're near
locks up an amount of wounds and fears
and i never let them out because that's the way you loved me

i crawl under my bed like a kid
hearing the footsteps as i lay curled up on the floor
then i shut my eyes and pretend you were never there and I'd fake the love we crashed into each other

its not a wonderful sigh now that you're gone and far away
because i still feel your voice on my skin and smell the scent of your hair on my pillow

everything is better when i imagine myself far away from the love we built
i don't even miss you at all not one bit
but maybe I'm just good at pretending.
