Today I pretended I loved you,
Planted daisies and hummed
Studied the words on conversation hearts
Called us birds of a feather.
When the daisies died,
I pretended to be heartbroken.
Splashed water on my eyes,
Made sure to sniffle loudly in public,
Said things like
“I’m fine”
Trying to be unconvincing.
When the water on my eyes dried,
I pretended I was furious.
Kicked leaves that fell at my feet,
Slammed every door in my way,
Dragged my pen across my paper
As loud as possible,
Got tired,
And went to bed.
I guess I’m not very good at pretending.
