Love is fake

A four letter word

Written down on paper

L . O . V . E

The pain that word carries

The heaviness, the hurt

An excuse for pain

Failure, Disappointment, Screw Up

All fall from their mouths

I'm sorry, I love you

As if it excuses those words

The ones they say

And fully mean

While that three word phrase

Acts like a bandaid

On a gushing wound

A facade

The yells and screams

Hiding behind a wall

Of "Love"

Love

An excuse

A facade

A bandaid

Fake
