She lives a lie…
A complex fantasy…
Disguised in words…
So no one can see…
That she’s all alone…
Walking in single file…
But won’t admit it…
As she lives in denial…
Like it’s a weakness…
Her Achilles heel…
A chink in her armour…
If she ever revealed…
How empty she was…
Deep down inside…
That he doesn’t exist…
She’d lose all her pride…
So she lives a life…
Inside her head…
Where he resides…
Outside the empty bed…
Inventing stories…
Of her happy life…
But each White lie…
Twists the internal knife…
As she knows that…
The day will come…
Her mask will slip…
And she’ll come undone…
Revealing the void…
Of heart-breaking pain…
The bitter loneliness…
And never ending rain…
As she’s falling apart…
With no one around…
No one to adore…
No soul mate found…
So she lives this lie…
A made up fantasy…
Hidden behind her words…
For no one to see…
