Liar

For a sense of safety She conjures them Only in her mind Is where they're condemned Most of the time She believes they are real She longs for the words they say She longs for the way they feel She recounts them daily She knows every story Memorizing, internalizing False memories in her inventory She's worried she'll forget But she doesn’t let them know In her mind she puts on An elaborate show She's never been caught Her record is spotless Know one would suspect She has a lot to confess They can't be lies They just can’t be Because with them Is the only time she is free *In memory of Jane Marie 9/19/1993 - 12/16/2011*
