Hypocrite


Humans are born with a heart

Yet they like to break other hearts.

 

Hearts are meant to love

Yet are more commonly broken

We attempt to heal hearts

By saying "I love you."

 

I want to love 

They like to cheat

We love to lie when we are in trouble

That's when we say "because I love you."

 

However, everyone will find

A human who speaks 

Without telling lies

A human who you can trust 

without being heartbroken

A human who is human

 And wholeheartedly loves you.

 

That's all it takes to be happy

But only if YOU are also the same.

 

YOU have to not tell lies

YOU have to be trustworthy

YOU have to love with your heart

 

Don't be a hypocrite and truly love.
