Half truths
You said
“they can’t be lies if there’s a lil truth to ’em”
and
I guess you’re right
but
that definition never felt complete
just like the thing you sold me as love
no no matter how much
“My cup runneth over”
with this so called love you pandered
it was never enough
to cash in
For the prize of
your attention

“pandered” seems the perfect word choice
I like the line “just like the thing you sold me as love.”
I really like how this poem sets the reader up with a sense of incompleteness in the early, one or two word lines, and then explains what that incompleteness is in that second half so that we can really feel it too.
Yes! You capture some real truth about half-truths!
You betta!
