This night is a lie ‘cause im just a pretty girl beside you <br />I kiss you like that and you stiffen like you know <br />That I don’t ever want to let you go <br />So I pull away quick and make amends <br />Maybe tell you to f- off or that you’re a loser. <br /> <br />And if you did leave I’d crumble, <br />But you never do. <br />You just sigh and ask if im cold. <br />Remember a story I told you once. <br />Walk me home and hold me tight. <br />So I wont feel alone or scared. <br /> <br />I don’t know how you know my tricks <br />I sure as hell didn’t tell you. <br />But you see through my bullshit <br />And I really love that about you. <br />While I’m acting like I’m cool <br />And leaving you for the group <br />You just stand there and wait, <br />And put your arm around me when I return, <br />Feeling sheepish and used. <br />You don’t know quite what to say. <br />But you don’t pretend. <br /> <br />Its ok though my dear, its alright <br />I’m pretending enough for the both of us. <br />While you wait patiently, watching out for me <br />Waiting for me to finish my sick little mind game<br /><br />Amy Carmichael<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-relationship-2/
