Pretending Poem by Persephone Springs

I know that I'm not supposed to cry over a boy
I know that I should be independent
But my train-wreck of an ego was depending on you
I have never opened myself up to anyone because it's easier
Easier not to have to take back all the things I never said
So I will pretend
Pretend I don't care
Pretend that you don't make me feel different
Pretend that because of you, I will never open again
Pretend that I don't have feelings
