beautiful lies

wretched

L is for the all the
l i e s  and twisted truth
you've incredulously made
me believe. how big of a
fool do you think i was?

O is for the O s c a r  award
you get for being the best
actor, deceiving me with
such “indisputable” words.
“she's just a friend, it was
nothing.”  i don't get it, do
friends normally leave
lipstick stains on
shirts these days?

V is for the v a g u e  expressions
of affection and faith you
tell me. “i love you” i said.
“me too.” you said. i guess
you love yourself too?

E is for how e p h e m e r a l
your feelings for me are.
you didn't even wait till
the sun set, did you?

i guess what we had
wasn't  l o v e  at all.

whatever
humans make,
it's only artificial.
t e m p o r a r y
and so is this.
