Question Persisting

The question persisting
What really is love?
When you choose to open your heart full of honesty
About sleeping around  tryponosomniaclly
Is love forgiveness?
I cannot do what  you need me to do
With that information am too invested in you
Only the pope can cleanse your sin and forget
You are catholic  in loving, remember that all too well 
Is lying in love, love and compassion?
I would rather you lie to me if when you sleep
I have made my peace with our sin
Seems to be the only path to happily ever after
To commit to those who lie well enough
The question persisting still is
Why you would think honesty is needed in love.
