Smoothe liar

I am
a smoothe liar.
I lie through my teeth
and I do it well.
So much so
that people choose
to believe me
even if their gut tells them otherwise.

I've been busy with university
that's why I have not come to see you.
So busy that I have not come for months
so busy
too busy
to even pick up the phone.

But what do you know
they still love me
even if I'm not there.
How do you love the one
who is always absent?

Oh.

But people love me all the same
and they love my smoothe lies
better have that
than none of me at all.
