Don'T You Pretend To Love Me

"you may say I'm emotionally misplaced,
But why show true feelings,
When it's thrown back into my teary face,
With flat out rejections,
Having no expectation guarded as a person alone I walk,
Talking of not too much,
Realising now I don't need,
Live in any pretence,
Happy here to sit on the fence,
True beauty without pretences."
