I'll pretend
bury the dead in the cool grounds
that dared to run across your minefields
claiming to be your friend,
hypocritical lives,
resisting the moment
when today touches tomorrow
but I can’t find you there...
I feel estranged
but for now, I’ll pretend; I'll be a hypocrite,
that we're friends....
a man with empty yesterday's
waiting for a new one today...
but I can’t start from the bottom ....
a glimpse of light emits speckles of notions
navigating to you
announcing a confession
that I can not see you as a friend
but for now, I’ll pretend to be your friend
I'll pretend somehow.....
