xXpretendXx

pretend to miss me

pretend to care

pretend to acknowledge

that i'm no longer there

plead for my presence

beg for my voice

amuse me

or lose me

you know it's your choice.

act

like i broke your heart

like you care

that i'm gone

please stop saying

that nothing is wrong.

say your world is in pieces

and

that i'm to blame

say you want things back

say you want things the same.

i can't stand your silence

or this post-breakup stage

i grip the phone with violence

my knuckles white in rage

i want you to call.

please tell me

your sadness is true

and distract me

sidetrack me

so that i don't

miss you.
