sick
with a variety of disorders.
anorexic,
suicidal.
borderline and narcissistic.
in love with a married man
who would never
leave his wife,
and a man
who beat her daily
and abused her.
a father figure, twenty-five
years her senior.
she'd lie about work, about
friends,
about money.
about love.
about how she spent her time.
every second she opened her
mouth a lie
fell out.
small or large, her eyes would
shift from
side to side
as i waited for the next lie
to arrive.
dumb as a rock,
she was.
everyone could see what
she was up to
and who she really wasn't.
