I don't care for the spasm you call a smile,
I don't care if your soul is vile.
I don't care if you're the bitter one,
Who will carve my life undone.
Simple words are spoken only when
you tell the truth,
and only then.
The truth whatever it may be,
Will seldom set you free.
Tell the truth to ones you love,
They curse and throw stones from above,
Tell the truth to wretched foes,
And be cast with waste below.
Simple words are words for men
who love the truth,
and only them.
I don't love you, don't forget,
I love myself, and only that.
I love the way you curl asleep,
I love the lines that run so deep,
I love the face that I want to *****,
True enough, but I don't love you.
