Garden of Mendacity

Garden of Mendacity
10/12/06
By: Innerchild

You created a ghost between
us—blamed her for your temper
and sharp words, even though
you were really blaming me.
My mind became your garden of mendacity,
with its overgrown weeds and dead dreams,
and where our insecurities clashed.
You threw away your humanity and became
a demon with a chain in your hand.
A chain that clasped around my neck.
You thought you had won, that I was yours,
but one word and you fell to
Your knees, the chain falling in ruins on the ground in the now living garden
as I said it again—liar.
