Sweet Lie

swallowed the lie
when you told me you loved me
and I allowed it to fester in my body
grow slowly
thought
I had digested it
but it only grew
swore that I swallowed it
passed it with the rest of the sh*t
you told me
but obviously
I didn’t
held on to it as if the slightest
bit of truth that was dwelling with in
and it would keep me from
the reality
that you don’t love me
and this...
...was just a fleeting moment
