Lovers love lying. 

Silver tongues sell sweet sounds.

Naive cynics that die trying, 

To wear their hearts as crowns


These cynics can’t know  better,

For they know no single difference,

Between love that deserves letters,

And short-lived youthful ignorance


But true lovers know.

They’ve seen it all before.

And still they force sick love to grow.

These sour silver sweethearts lying till their lips are sore.

 

Plastic dolls are plastic dolls

We cannot play forever

The author's comments:

I've seen a lot of people be mistreated in relationships and this is something to sort of speak out on that and the damage of short term relationships.
