stop pretending

_easy to say
__not so to do

start with this cliche
a typical place to start

stop pretending

is it in your heart?
does it reside alongside your soul?
within the dark corners
the hidden shadows
the mists and fogs
of a well-kept
hidden soul?

stop pretending
say the truth
find the cliche
that defines you

stop pretending
you have a heart
you don't have a heart

where did that cliche run to?

just stop pretending

because I told you too



_____aren't I clever?
_____aren't I full of truth?
_____how long can I beat the dead horse
_____and make you feel it's true?

apparently as long
_as it takes
__for
___you to
____stop

Not Kink

not this setting; not now
not in the calm, cool, clean confines
not when my mind is ten years old
and wandering
not when you work so hard on a not so secret endeavor
not when we're companionable and cuddly

not now
not when snuggles and love-iness swirl
not when lunch menus and laptops are shared
not when golden ice tea makes me wish for a splash of alcohol
(a buzz of happy proportions only please)
(but just a tad out of control)

so not now
not tonight

but let's plan for tomorrow
