i'm not in love with you,
but somehow
i like pretending so...!

-

We go through roundabout routes
As to express our derisive opinions;
We spout off indirect criticisms
Or retain silence when spotlighted--
In order to avoid hurting anyone else,
Or heaven forbid, be accused
Of tactlessness and something worse;
Yet, we speak of them, unkindly,
And gossip about them, irreverently,
Once their backs are turned.
Ah, when shall we ever perceive
The fallacious quality of our ways?

-

Fancy how we speak in metaphors, now--
Skirting around the iridescent heart
Of what we truly yearn to scream about,
In gigantic waves of all-out love.

-

Sometimes it is
BETTER to be ALONE
surrounded with
SILENCE
than to be in a
LOUD CROWD
full of
HYPOCRITES ....

-

Darkness is a pretense
That light puts on,
To separate
The believers,
From the
Non believers.

-

'Disgusted; ashamed;
Withering in pain
Living in a world of  pretense
Facing the truth 
Painting it black
Giving it a new meaning
The devil has blessed me with a curse.'

-

Lovers
to indifferent witnesses
they metamorphosed,
fires of yesteryear
a distant memory;
till the pretense weared off,
knives came out
and caustic monologues
remaining the only reality.

-

Love in times of technology..

-

All our realities
are gift wrapped
in pretense.

We seem to appreciate
the box
rather than the gift.

That's scary.

-

I'm in love with you
but somewhere
i like hiding so...!
