I'll Pretend

I'll pretend that I'm here and you are here with me.
I'll pretend that the planets have fallen out of orbit and aligned once again....
for this is monumental beyond our control.

I'll pretend that we're birds flying toward the power lines.
Hoping the current in them is strong enough to shock our hearts.
And if the charge is to much and I cease to fly...
just know that I did it for you....anything for you....

And while cruising down that road, you in passenger seat.
If by fate I wrap this car around a tree just know I enjoyed the ride thus far.

In the mean time I'll pretend.That I'm seen and a human being....
who longs for affection though that isn't my expectance.

Cold as Sybiria my insides freeze up.
Lung, Heart and Gut.

So I'll pretend I'm a robot and feel nothing...
I've cut my own circuits....
I'll pretend I'm speaking words of wisdom and my philosophy of love is wrong...
.....or just an illusion...
