The Pretender

Hello? Anybody in?
Hello? Grin?
Say something
Act or react to what you're feeling
Pointless. Stubbornness. Emptiness.
You are a bloody mess. Expressionless.

Hello? Stop playing dumb
Hello? Numb?
Say you're done
Can't remember what you've done
Ecstasy, cocaine, heroin and weed
Your orifices are starting to bleed
Your excesses leave you in desperate need

Hello? No heartbeat
Hello? Breathe
Say you won't leave
You're far too young for the big deep sleep
Death. Dead. Deceased.
Games not over your pulse is weak
CPR. Mouth to mouth. More oxygen please

Hello? Ambulance urgently
Hello? Emergency
Say you'll be here in three
My friends lifeless and needs you and me
Defibrillator. Life support. Coma.
Woken in silent tearful surrender
You no longer have to be the pretender
