Lie to me

Lie to me. Tell me
what you think
I need to hear.
It’s all right.
Just remember:
truth is simple,
lies complicated.
I’ll be here when
you get tired of
making it so hard
to just be yourself.

Punchy and concise.
For a second I wanted it to last longer, but no, it's just right.
More please Mr Spira.
