Please make believe you still love me

Even if we only pretend for one more night,

Let’s make believe we can fix the wrongs

And hold tightly to all that is right.

***

Don’t give up on us this easily

We can make believe our futures bright,

Forget all the words we’ve recently spoken

Just hold and love each other tonight.

***

On this night let’s take the time to remember

How beautiful it was when we first met,

Remember back to how our love was then

And be happy we have nothing to regret.

***

Are you really certain we need to end

It’s not all water under the bridge,

We have so much we could fight for

Such as our love used for leverage?

***

It is heartbreaking to see and feel

That you’ve really given up the ghost,

Let’s make believe one more time

That it is to our future we toast.

***

Then hold me tight and love me one last time

But ensure that when the sunrise breaks,

You’ll gently kiss my lips fo say goodbye

And be long gone before I even wake.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
