False

My affection cannot be bought.
With your charming words and false intellect.
I know my kindness is one thing that you sought.
But your knowledge is no bigger than an insect.
You lie through your lips.
You vocalize nothing that resembles this.
A glimmer of hope.
For my rejection, I'm positive you'll cope.
I cannot be sold.
Or have my thoughts be told.
I'm of my own.
True to myself, to the bone.

I feel no honor to you.
Or anyone else here.
With all the lies you proclaim to not do.
Gives your soul only yourself to fear.
So claim what you will.
Give yourself a false thrill.
I hold no bargains for you.
I post nothing false against you.
I will not have anyone else to blame.
For your corruptions and lost shame.
You honor nothing to me.
And soon I know, you will agree.
