I told a lie today but what else was I supposed to say
I feel like love is an empty word
Uttered by people as emotional brokerage
I gave up on love
four lettered
but without meaning
Sometimes spoken as an opening
to gain entrapment
like a fairytale
Do you love me
of course I do
roll on the happy ending
The heart of a beast is served as offal
so why should ours be any different
something to be plucked out and served
but today
I will lie for you
of course I love your uncle
my friend laughs
Saying you collect fools
I utter like charms on a bracelet
Pretty to look at but cast on the dresser in the morning knowing they mean nothing
