I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you. I love you.
Oh, I love you.
But you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
You lie, lie, lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
You lie, lie, lie. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
You lie, lie, lie, lie.
I love you. Lie, lie, lie. I love you.
I love you. Lie, lie, lie. I love you.
I love you. Lie, lie, lie.
Lie. I love you.
You lie, lie, lie. I love you. Lie, lie, lie.
Lie, lie, lie. I love you. Lie, lie, lie.
Lie, lie, lie. I love you.
Lie, lie, lie.
Author notes
YOU GET TO DECIDE HOW YOU READ THIS. If you read it in a tired, bored to tears voice, it WILL BE weary and boring. It’s beautiful sung but I don’t know how to convey the melody. Read it with some spirit and I can almost guarantee you will see the virtue and truth in the situation it describes.

ok...you can SAY that it sounds beautiful to a certain melody in your head, but when i read this, i see six-maybe seven words in total. lots of lies and love. and its just not very original or thought provoking.
the trick to lyrical poetry is that it often lures the reader in with gripping imagery or a clever take on a tired emotion, and its the simplicity of wording that you show here that comes into play with a "chorus." with only this bit, the effect is completely lost. -
