I'm not going to apologise again because evidently this is the road I have chosen to go down, and if I've made this choice I need to have conviction in my actions or I'm going to be a hypocrite. I'm sure this is only a phase; I honestly hope it doesn't last. I despise being bitter.
I don't much care
That you say you miss me
Besides I'm certain
It's only a half-truth
I don't much care
That you say you're
Sad that you've caused
Such distress in my life
- You guessed it -
Because it's only
Another half-truth
And if all your half-truths
Could honestly be deemed
Honourable, I might give
A damn; a second thought.
But all I see is the cloud
Of smoke you leave behind
As you slither away
Into the night.

love it
the words themselves 'slither' but the honesty of the piece stays on a straight path
Thank you all. You've made my day xo
i like the way you have used the word "slither"..it speaks volumes..
Never apologise for being honst, you are yourself inside my friend.
A fresh and novel way of composing a rant - - yes you have hit nails on the head with a vengence and very well said. He deserves to be beaten every step for his treatment of love - - rant more if you want - no apologies needed for addressing this slitherer .
I like the poem. Well penned
Splendidly structured...A Reader's delight, as the work flows line 2 line like a narrow, spiraling staircase... in serpentine movement[no pun intended(slither)] lol! Solid Penning F.H. !\\\FjR///
