My New Non-existence

I don't exist anymore.
I was a sweet figment
Of your imagination.
You dreamed me up
In your head.
A vision who visited
You in the night,
And soothed,
And comforted.

I told you
Never to speak of me,
Or ever to utter my name,
For now, the verbalization
Denatured my spirit
I’ll never vapor again.
