I pretended that You Loved Me

I pretended that You Love Me

The sky is heavy, starless, bare,

A world consumed by thick despair.

Each broken cloud, each bitter sigh,

Illustrates the love you won’t deny.

Your shadow lingers, cold and near,

A haunting proof, a whispered fear.

In every step, in every breath,

I feel your love, a quiet death.

The rain falls sharp, it cuts, it stings,

The weight of sorrow your love brings.

No joy, no warmth, just heavy chains,

A love that lives in endless pain.

And as I stand in this endless night,

I see your love in the absence of light.

Not warmth, not peace, but a tethered plea—

Your love is the dark that consumes me.
