Don't pretend you love me - poem
Navigating the storm of betrayal & healing
I’ve been holding my breath
Hoping that this passes but its not like that storm that fades away
There’s scars on my heart, like someones passed
And I struggle to get up every day
Don’t pretend you know me when you left me in the dirt
Don’t pretend you love me when all you caused was hurt
And don’t say you miss me, when I know you really don’t
If you really missed me my heart wouldn’t have got broke
Four days before you said you loved me,
Two months later I’m not even healed
You cut everyone off and me,
I’m not even sure how to feel
Is it the pain the hurt the worry?
Your heads out of control
And I can’t be any help at all
Don’t pretend you know me when you left me in the dirt
Don’t pretend you love me when all you caused was hurt
And don’t say you miss me, when I know you really don’t
If you really missed me my heart wouldn’t have got broke
I know you really loved me and I just want you back
You grit and power can push us through this patch
I remember that we promised to work through anything
Like star gazing on the trampoline,
We always found a silver lining

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
