Don't pretend to be truthful
When you lie to my face
You never gave me a thought
Until I was wrapped around youDon't pretend your mask is real
When you know your truth value
Is false
You change like the seasonsDon't pretend to love me
When you only love my body
My absent curves, flawed face
And scarred bodyDon't pretend you don't notice
When my body trembles
With frozen fear
At your touchDon't pretend you are warm
When you are ice
So cold I burn
With HypothermiaDon't pretend you care
You could ignore me for days
Weeks, months, years
We began as strangersDon't pretend
That's how we won't end
