I keep falling into
the same one
night make believe.
where you pretend
you could love me
and I pretend to
not care.
We play in the dark
pretend with our hearts
so no one's hurt at dawn.
Where it's breakfast
and goodbye.
you go on with
your life
and I never see
you again.
and I keep saying
it's fine
I know it wasn't real
It's a fantasy
A short story
Two people playing make believe
But somehow I
keep getting
lost in my part.
