Try To Pretend

It was a combined dream of ours

To venture into the world of art

Holding hands along the way

We nurtured the passion in our heart

I always wanted to be a writer

Your passion for words added to it

Working closely day and nights

We realized our dream bit by bit

Our love gave us the strength

As we scribbled away in joy

Nothing else gave us this much pleasure

Writing is one thing we both could enjoy

While I was stuck, you comforted me

You encouraged me to never give up

My words took time to take shape

You nurtured me like a mother to its cub

And then one day it all ended

Success chose to only come my way

I was waiting for your appreciation

But your eyes said what you couldn't say

A part of me died that day

But the words continued to flow

I was climbing higher in all the charts

But life had dealt me its blow

I understand your pain and hurt

But you can live your dream through mine

I do not understand your anger towards me

Why treat me like I committed a crime

With each passing day, you crept away

In jealousy your love was lost

Why did you have to prove

That success does come at a cost

Tomorrow is my big day

A book shall finally hold my name

Would you come to be a part of it?

Or would you continue to hate my fame?

Darling, this dream belongs to us

What is mine, is yours too

This doesn't change anything for me

My love for you was always true

How could you do this to us

Is this how our story shall end

Even if you don't feel it inside

At least can you try to pretend
