It’s been more than a month
Since I heard your voice
Since I looked at your face
I erased the pictures
One by one
Crying buckets of tears
Each time
I deleted your words
The lines of naughty prose
You promised
You would do
I still toss & turn
Cry into my pillow
My dreams are no longer happy
But rather torturous nightmares
I wake in the middle of the night
Gasping for breath
With your name on my lips
Only to find an empty bed
More pillows than I can count
To try to lay my head
I think of the lies
The deceit
The idea you knew
So much more than me
I remember everything
How you said I was beautiful
How you said I was worthy
But in the end
I wasn’t, was I
In the end
That LIE
Is the only thing left
That one thing
Ruined the rest of it
That one false answer
Fucked up my life
Made me something
That I WASN’T
You thought me worthy of that LIE
And not worthy of the truth
Now I say goodbye
And for my sanity’s sake
I’ll let you go now and ruin another life
