A Lie Like No Other

She said she would love me forever,

Which turned out to be more a lie than the other,

and I figured that that's just her,

That she is just a liar,

But then there were others, so many others,

So that now I know that's just how people are.

That was one explanation. Now, here, another:

For years, people have miscast the heart.

It's an imagination, less tethered than the first.
