Read a lie,
between the spoken lines.
A void in spaces the truth defines.
Last impressions of sloppy seconds, first one failed,
the fake details, of a retailed mind.
Own past self-aggressions,
between lines.

Good poem and a quote that came to mind when reading this, although I don't recall the source is "Liars have to have good memories."
Best wishes to you in the contest!

Very nice. It is a shame that we need to discern how to read between the words of liars. A thought provoking piece. Love the form as well, one of my favs. Thank you for entering the contest.
