You distorted my common sense,
Making me believe what
I was seeing and hearing were reality
When, in fact, they were lies
Masquerading in truth’s garments.
You blurred my value perceptions
Telling me you thought
I was worth something until you
Made me feel absolutely insignificant
By speaking in contradictions.
Your absence left me hallucinating,
Trying to determine what was
Real and what I had imagined,
Revealing that the only illusion
Was the one you made yourself believe.
