pretend

What are we trying to prove?

That we can hurt each other?

We know we can,
for we have the power.

The power of love.

With no love comes no power,
but with us, there is love,

and the power over
pleasure or pain.

Oh, to hold,
to hold you close.

Oh, to feel love from you,
in my heart again,
filling the emptiness once again.

Oh, to find my way back
into your heart,
into your life,
into the love,
we know is there.

Nothing to prove,
but our love
for each other,

if we could just
end this game,
I don't want to play.

I never did like to pretend,
and
I do not now, want to pretend,

I do not love you,
I do not miss you,
I do not want you.
I do not need you.
