V

when i have nights on which
i come crashing down
from my overwhelming
and unnecessary insecurity
despite the fact that i know
i have no right to do so
since i am more than aware
of your feelings towards me

i ask to hear one of your
reassuring lies because i
want (need) to be told
that you do love me, told
that you truly want to be sat
here beside me: that's
your cue to tell me a line of
our make-believe love story

and i smile at the forged
warmth in your eyes
as they bore into mine,
happiness floods through my
body until my vision drops,
and the elation bleeds dry
when you walk away, talking (to your mistress) on the phone
