Pretense
Pretense
You don't have to look
underneath my shirt
to see what's in my chest --
there is only you
-- you who are there
where someone else should
because of that one night
I said things I didn't mean --
-- things I didn't mean like
'I can't be a part of you anymore,'
and 'I am done pretending,' were
just as true as the last claim --
there is only you
where someone else should
because that one night
I only pretended.
