Pretend You Love Me

All I have to do is pretend. When the lights go out and the chill of the cell creeps in, I know I must go along with everything he says. 

His sharp gaze fades into the darkness, and nothing else matters but surviving this moment. 

I'll do all he asks. I'll obey every command and submit on my knees. There's not an ounce of me that's willing to risk losing more than I already have.
