Words aren't as meaningful as it used to be.

Compliment me,

and I hear nothing but beastly lies.

Seek for forgiveness,

yet I see no repentance.

Tell me you love me,

but I have yet to feel that devotion of yours.

Words are suppose to be honest,

sincerely from your heart yours truly.

Whether those words are ugly or pretty,

do not smother them with mendacity.

It defines who you are faithfully.
