Cliche Love

We are all liars
Liars who cheat their thoughts,
Cheats who fake their desires
Mere parrots who echo cliches across.

We don't really feel anything
without words in our mouths
Words that label everything
so, we don't have words of ours.

Expressing without the dirty work
of your own articulation
is to cheat the one you love
behind words of hollow imitation.

This is a really cool piece.
The words create the feelings rather than the feelings inducing the words.
So if we articulate too carefully, then our love is not natural? perhaps.
I really like where this took me. You are a talented wordsmith.
