Passive-Aggressive

Silently undermining
Oh, what sneaky saboteur! 
Simmering vindictiveness
'Neath his warm veneer

Sounds like me sometimes, Edward. But I hope not. When I'm simmering with vindictiveness I find it impossible to cover it up, but rather I want to get it out there. But, most of the time I do have warmth that goes much deeper than veneer. Anyway, I could relate.

I find your honesty quite refreshing, Milt:-) We feel freer releasing pent-up emotions. As long as we do so with hurting someone in the process, then it's perfectly okay, IMO. Thanks for the comments and visit, my friend.
