Playing Pretend

So enchanting, playing pretend.

Figment you thought was a friend.

Time arrives when you are in need.

They stand back and watch you bleed.

You would never ask for their help, do it yourself.

Hoping for deliverance from self made hell.

Alone you must stand, against it all.

Brick by brick you build your walls.

Never to trust or be let down again

By the figment you pretended was a friend.
