Pretender

i switch on the light,
to guide me in the darkness ,
but it blinks instead,
tick, tack, tick, tack,
black & white,
black & white,
tick, tack, tick, tack
my eyes widen like an owl,
my heart beating fast like nearing death,
but there's nothing to be seen,
except something is really wrong,
with the way you smile,
sweet & poisonous,
all the time pretending

i switch off the blinking light,
and that is the end
