Pretense

Lost in an ocean so wide,

I saw a dolphin playing with a child,

Overwhelmed by her innocence,

I chose to make her mine,

I moved near, her eyes shined.

We became friends,

I took her hand,

Held her tight,

And let her all be

Into my life.

I hold her dear,

She took me aside,

Promised to show me

The secrets of her life.

She took me to an isle,

My eyes opened wide.

She was indeed a SHARK

In dolphin's disguise.

And there she engulfed me

And made me realise...

PRETENCE IS THE ONLY THING

IN THE WORLD THAT SURVIVES ....
