Pretend

Why can't I keep holding on to what's broken?
Why do I have to let go?
I want things to stay the same
But they can't, can they?

Wicked words said without a care
Do you realize they hurt?
Probably not
After all, my silence is always justified

Hearing about all your accomplishments
I can't help but cry out
I'm jealous, I want to love
But I could never say it

You are perfect
Except
You don't care anymore
I'm not part of your life, I understand
Just... Stop pretending
