“Sea of Pretend”

Initially a harmony,

of melody and grace.

Disguised to be the one for me,

Deep within a handsome face.

Shadowing my butterflies,

In one another’s clasp.

But stormy days would alter this,

The sunshine never lasts.

Choosing you and not the life jacket,

What a blessing I could swim.

No idea it couldn’t save me,

In the deep sea of pretend.

Tears from the darkest cloud,

Drowned any chance to save me.

I’m dying just to love you,

You’re living just to hate me.
