A False World

she stumbles around the house precariously
refusing to stay seated to protect herself
she doesnt remember her two falls anymore
they are a thing of the past nothing is wrong
they live in a false world

the only step i have inside is her playground
i swear one day shell give me a heart attack
she will come through with flying colors herself
her only disaster comes when the sun descends
they live in a false world

when that ole sun goes down she falls apart
her legs shimmy her hands shake she needs help
she doesnt understand why all this is happening
when i try to explain there goes that blank stare
they live in a false world

when things go smoothly she believes shes ok
her memory functions in now there is no other
so you live in their world hoping to keep
them safe for another day in your world
they live in a false world
