Pretend

I did not pretend.

I did not play around,

I just wanted to dance with you,until you hit the ground.

I didn't know what to say,I didn't know what to do,

So I just pretended not to see you.

 

I felt so bad,

I let the friendship we had go.

 

I tried to change,

To be more suitable for you.

 

I kept my thoughts inside,

so I couldn't hurt you.

 

 

But that all had to end.

 

But I tried my best to be your friend.

I can relate. This is a beautiful and sad poem, friend. Even when we try to change ourselves to fit in better to the world of another...it never works out the way we desire. Honesty is best, but many seem to fight against who they really are to make others happy. Lovely, soulful words, fellow poet.

I love it, though here's a little advice, never change who you are for anyone but yourself ^_^

[Coyote Poetry]

Nice flow of thoughts and I like the desire of the poem. Good to seek and create friendship. A surprise ending to a excellent poem.
