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.

Slither

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.

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 .
