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.....
