In a state of disrepair...

Are you so far gone
That you will believe
The lies I tell?

“Your beautiful.”
At least until tomorrow.

Are you so stupid
You will not question
When I deceive?

“Your beautiful.”
As long as you believe it.

Are you so easy
To fool?
When I say;

“Your forever.”
At least until tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter
If for one moment
You trust.

“Your forever.”
As long as you believe it.

It is all right,
I know you deem it true.

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?

Well done for at least providing an insight into the mind of the male slut. At least you're honest, I suppose, if a bit brutal.
There's not a lot wrong with the poem, but it's "You're beautiful/forever/etc,", not "Your". Sorry, just being pedantic here.
Anyways, nice write.

This is a very interesting and different read.  There aren't many times you will find a poem that tells the brutal truth while retaining an odd melancholy and wistfullness.
I really liked this, especially the repetition of the "At least untill tomorrow/As long as you believe it" that part was really nice, it created a wonderful link to the passages.

Well done!
