Pretend

Folder: 
2015

I’m tired of the

back and forth

banter,

 

the pretending

 

Trust me, I’m

stepping over the line

 

Trust me, I’m

pushing the boundaries

brushing your back

with my fingertips

letting the earth

come crashing down

 

Another afternoon

another night

passes and I

forget my bag

of tricks and logic

 

stumbling blindly

into a room

where everything is

all too real.

 

And I want to scream at you

for not stepping

over the line-

just

trust me

 

But no, never mind

Back and forth

banter

 

Let’s just

pretend

I hope the "you" in this poem

I hope the "you" in this poem did, eventually, step over the line.
