The Ghosts Don't Lie
June 5, 2013
We all lie. It's a fact.
Mom lies about why she has to wear sunglasses to church.
Dad lies about why he always comes home late.
I lie about why I always wear sleeves that reach past my wrists.
But the ghosts don't lie.
The ghosts of bruises on Mom's face before she puts on her makeup in the morning.
The ghost of anger in Dad's eyes when Mom talks to other men.
The ghosts of previous fractures to my arm when we get it X-rayed.
The ghosts will never lie.
