Commitment.
Festooned round
skilfully sentenced evasion
never deeper
than experienced phrasing
lies counterfeit
cunning methods known as
unmeant affection.
Playing at love is a divisive
two-faced game
based on arrant deception.
Vows that are fake
never stand time\'s intense
scrutiny for real
care knows trust can break
when being misled
by contrival\'s appearance.
Better by far to exclude lies
and contemplate first
a lover\'s needs in providing
regard for worthier
and believable commitment
knowing action speaks
louder than any mere words.
