No

did I believe you
as you went
out of view
it is not that
I thought you lied
I just knew
it wasn’t the truth
some words are
said just to be said
do they make you
feel any better
no
they don’t they just
add to the loneliness
a touch without a caress
it is like holding
on to a ghost
with no justice to
the living

Sometimes I think a person wants to believe what they are saying so badly that they won't admit even to themselves that they are lying. And, then sometimes, they're telling a bold faced lie and completely realize it.

Good writing Helen. Made me think.

boy have I felt the effects of that before.
I hate that kind of loneliness...
it just seems so worthless,
but even more, just so heartbreaking.
Amazing write.
