A false lover would be a lying cheating deceptive lover. "False" is a bit of an anachronism in this sense, but the topic is ancient. You can't even imagine how many poems have been written over the years on this subject. Here's Sonnet 138 by the Bard himself:
When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her, though I know she lies;
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue;
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed,
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say I not that I am old?
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her, and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flattered be.
So you are in excellent company and should strive to excel thereby.
I think your topic is perfectly okay, since people have been writing poetry about it since the dawn of written language. Just realize that you have to figure out how to make your contribution noteworthy.
