Replying to a comment on:

a lie (Free verse) by tre

I feel guilty. I'm not really listening. I pretend to care. My mind is elsewhere. Sometimes it hurts too much to say I miss you, because I don't always mean it. I go silent. No answer. If I say I miss you, I'm talking about someone else. I look to you for comfort and love, because I can't get it from him. I long for something true. Do I love you? Am I using you?

Good. This touches something real.

I'll suggest to extend it slightly so that you don't end on a question - this is not a good way to end (a difficult thing to do well).
