no more pretense

stop pretending,

there's no more use.

i see right through

the smile,

the laugh.

don't try to deny

that you're letting go

someway

somehow

you're letting go

of me.

i'll be

lost

without you

sad

without you

but maybe my heart

needs the break.

maybe its me

but the tears

are real

the hurt

is real.

but what is real?

instead i pretend.
