Lies are told to me
befallen on my head
Like red lipstick kisses
stuck to a crisp white shirt
How can I love you
when you love another
your words are priceless
because they aren't true
They are what I want to hear
lies from you to me

Why do we love the beautiful lies instead of the harsh truth?
That's the question I got from the piece so well done with writing this
I guess, we admire what the words people say that we think is true but when we find out that they lie about that, you feel, hmm, betrayed.
For a simple write, the theme is quite deeper than I thought!
So, yes, nicely penned, all in all
