INCINERATED 

Where is that person that I knew
The one that looked like you?
A cloud of smoke, left in her place
Confused, ignored, removed.

In the dark, so vulnerable 
Can’t get back, my pride, my soul
Feelings now unbearable
Promises were bought and sold.

Somewhere deep,  deep down inside
Is a stranger, a mere thief
I must have known, it was a lie
Someone so distant, beyond belief. 

What happened to … the two of us
All it took was just one look
I believed all you said to me
Swallowed whole ….the bait, the hook.

Hard to accept, after all
Did I imagine you were real?
Just a dream, a mirage of sorts
With no concern for how I feel.

A cloud of smoke …. obscures my view
Your image fades away
Nothing left to hold onto
My days now turned to grey.
