Lying to You, Pt. 3

You said I was brilliant, and even a find.
You were not slow in praising my rational mind,
But were equally quick in insisting I should
Subscribe to the worst lies in all Hollywood,
A narrative unchanged in two hundred years
In which I am loyal without wait or fear.
Instead of an interest that builds up to trust
You were insistent that your boyfriend must
Live at once for one woman, and no other “her,”
Who is not even you, but who you wish you were.
You say that few things are as sexy as truth,
But you only reward me for lying to you.
