You were a dream and a fantasy,
So real I could almost feel you in my hands.
But like a mirage born of thirst and dryness,
You were most certainly an illusion,
Cultivated by desperation, nourished by judgement.

So, I will lay you to rest,
Forever gone.
I won’t even mourn you, 
Or feel guilty not remembering
What I thought you were.
