Love Poems & Poetry

Pretend

It pains my heart
To see you with this other man
He hurts you and controls you
But you continue to go back

Do you remember that day
I asked you if you if he was the one
You looked over at me in silence
And your eyes told me your thoughts

You and I have fun
We are amazing together
When we put our minds to something
We can never be stopped

With the drive and passion that we have
We complete each other
There are not two people in the world
That can focus energy like we do

I thought we were just friends
Until that one night
When your guard was down
And you true feelings came to light

That night I stayed
Because you couldn’t be alone
I watched over you all night
And even the next day

I protected and nurtured you
Back to your healthy self
We shared a beautiful comfort that day
But he was coming into town

You didn’t want me to stay
Because it would get him mad
So I left for respect
And figured we continue when he had left

But that isn’t going to happen now
Because you are engaged
To the man that has hurt you
To the man that that wants to control you

I am ok
I’ll just suck it up
And pretend that there were no feelings
And that he was always the one
