Pretending

I laid on the rocks 
And you watched
Me cry

Trying to hold my
Hand 
Trying to kiss my
Mouth

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending

That the world
Hadn’t just
Shattered 

The desert
Watched
The stars
Wandered

Across an
Endless sky

And you poured
Blood
And piss
Down my ear

And I listened

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending

That the world
Hadn’t just 
Shattered

Your voice
Was mute
Your eyes
Were glazed
Your body
Was poisoned

For days you 
Lied
Four days you 
Swam

And I knew

Pretending
Pretending
Pretending

That our world
Hadn’t just
Shattered
