We spent so long constructing what went down with just a word; <br />We had to blow our pyramid of cards to send them crashing down. <br />I thought we were a sturdy couple, but the road we chose was tough <br />And at the end of each disaster comes a moment with no sound. <br /> <br />*you are my silence* <br />*I am yours* <br />*together we won't <br />(speak a word) * <br /> <br />I tried to tape together what was left of our connecting part <br />But found that not enough existed, never did I touch your heart; <br />I didn't know what I was doing; don't know just what game you played <br />But in the *silence* I can see that <br />{we will never be the same} <br /> <br />You have me here on pause but I can see what's going to be played <br />And yet I'm fine while stuck in pause 'cause I don't want to face the change; <br />Don't want to let this day go by and, along with it, you as well; <br />I'm fine pretending as the ground comes near <br />{I never} <br />(even) <br />[fell] <br /> <br />We spent so long constructing what went down with just a single word <br />And in the end it's best to just pretend <br />{I wasn't} <br />(even) <br />[hurt]<br /><br />Stephen Denny Paul White<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-s-best-to-just-pretend/
