Let's pretend we don't exist
all wrapped up
in this cocoon (of scorn)
of silence
All I'd like is to pretend
With you.
Let's imagine--we don't exist
I wish i were an adult
falling asleep
alone.
It was never you.
(I could pretend it was, if you like.
But you don't.)
I wanted
nothing
Yet now, I believe
a kiss would fix me.
A hug would comfort me
Just a nod,
would suffice.
But instead
Like an adult, I don't exist
Like an adult
I do not sleep alone -
and he is no comparison.
(One trespass becomes a road).
