Beautiful Liar By Brittany Bolger She sits on the edge of the bed, Listening to the world turn. Plump lips cradle a cigarette, supported by a pair of pale fingers. 1:56AM blinks on the clock in blue, breaking the room’s carbon darkness. The form next to her extends an arm, and calloused fingers trace her shoulder blades. “Look at how beautiful you are.”He smiles. She exhales a ring of smoke and watches it float above her head like a halo. “Lie to me again,” she whispers. “I love you,” he says.
