They speak of love and happiness
As if they're new to me
And all the while with readiness
To be untrue to me.
They speak as if I'm longing for
Their worlds of "bliss and glee"
But all the things that they adore
Do far from worlds for me.
They claim that they could change my ways
Yet say they love me so.
But if a man would change my ways
How could that claim be so?
I'm not a damsel in distress
And they're not knights or kings.
I have no secrets to confess!
Just they are hiding things;
They speak of love and happiness
As if they're new to me
And all the while with readiness
To be untrue to me.

When I first wrote "Irony" I wanted to say a lot more, but I just couldn't put it into words. Thank you for the push to edit it.
Please tell me what you think

you probably know as well as i do that it's so hard to find impeccable metre on ap -- the metre here is just so, and it's such a relief to not have to go apeshit over shitty rhyme. good stuff & well done!

Excellent flow of the unforced rhyming verse--Flawless meter.
I admire the repetition of the first and last stanza to emphasize the point you wish to portray.
Well Done!
