You pretend you don't know

justam

You pretend you don’t understand
but you’re not a stupid man
you must know
somewhere in your heart
you were unfair to me
to lean on me
lean on me
lean on my heart
depend on my good heart
for too long
with no intention of helping me
I realize I was foolish to let it go on so long
but love made me tenacious
I’ve always believed you to be a deep person
so some part of your heart must know
must know
this was unfair to me
how you pretended I wasn’t real
but I helped you
me, a living, breathing person
I’m angry you pretend not to know
pretend not to understand
your part
why I would feel threadbare, lack belief, and want to disappear
or why I would try to make the best of whatever
challenging situation I am left in
time has passed, I have no choice
I try to make the best of what is mine,
try to be happy on my own
if you had cared, you would have helped me
and furthermore, I don’t feel like watching
that woman from your past
return to saunter up the street
