REALITY

I feel sick.
Your name,
Your voice,
Your body.
It all still haunts me.
I retch,
A taste in my mouth like a rotting corpse.
A taste of you.
It is absolutely disgusting.
The words spoken to me were wrong.
The I love you's whispered in my ear.
Nothing but ugly, cruel lies.
None of this meant anything to you.
None of it was real..
