"Stop Pretending"

Our world slows to a stand still

I listen to the words you are not saying

Reading between the lines...

I draw a sharp breath to what I hear

Even with all our moments added together

The image seems to fail within the minds eye

Where everything now means nothing

And everything that use to be now stares me down

Haunting my foot steps that I take

Abandonment seems to be the only option

Sadly... its what has to be

Bringing us to the end of the road we share

So it's time to stop pretending

Be the truth that I need

Release my heart...

Disconnect our embrace

Make peace with what has to be

I know that it's not me that you are wishing for...

So... I hope you find it

Whatever it is you are looking for

Because its not me

Not now...

No more.
