Pretending Poem by Lacey UnKnown

I know that you hear me and pretend I'm not there
I know that you see me and pretend you don't stare
I know you must think of me now and again
So why won't you talk to me, try and be friends
I know you must miss me, cause I sure miss you
So why won't you just admit that it's true
No matter how hard I try I can't get you to see
What I still feel for you what you still do to me
When I look at you I feel so much pain
Why can't you see there is nothing to gain
Hating me won't do any good
Why can't we be friends the way that we should
When I look at you and I see you walk by
I wonder what is on your mind
Do you think about me as much as I think of you
Do you think of what we had and what we used to do
I constantly think about what should have been
But I know in my heart that it couldn't have been
I'd take it all back in a heartbeat you know
But I know that I can't and I'm stuck in this show
A masquerade of happiness and convincing charade of joy
I'll just keep on pretending and missing you deep in my soul
