Make-Believe

I’ve lived in a make-believe world before

where he is the center and I’m his girl.

We would play house and name our babies

and I went along with dreams he made for me.

He had me hooked with his fictitious feelings

as he made me a character in his book.

I was a good make-believing girl

pretending things were better than they were

---better than he was

because that’s what you do in make-believe worlds.

But the game board crashed to the floor

and our pieces started to scatter.

I looked for the door

as the fake fantasy shattered.

He tore apart what he made up and invented

and I became happy the whole story ended.

…

Sparkle&Shine.
