Pretend

Light shines through my window,
From the street light outside.
It flickers at times.

Tears fall to my pillow,
From my blood shot eyes.
They cry too much.

My heart explodes,
From my hurting chest.
Its broken to pieces.

You run..
From the pain that's within me.
You know its there.

Now pretend you care,
From your shallow eyes and cold dark heart;
Like you always do.

Pretend I'm not falling apart.
