Pretend Poem by America BILLS

She pretends she don't listen
She pretends that what you say doesn't matter
She pretends she don't care
She pretends she don't believe you
She pretends she don't trust you.

She only pretends to try to protect herself.
She really does listen to everything you say
Everything you say to her actually matters
She really does care about you
She does believe everything you say
She does trust you but she is scared

She won't show this because when it all comes out she will fall and might not get back up.
She doesn't want to get hurt.
