Slither
You slither
Like a snake
You don’t give
Only take
Smiles are phony
Your truths
Are fake
Your flowers
Only die
And wither
The taste of you
Is not sweet
Just bitter
Stay away
Don’t come hither
Causing pain
With you
There’s no joy to gain
When your around
The clouds won’t let out
One drop of rain
Your unclean
Leaving a stain
Trying to hold you
Is done in vain
You have no colors
Only gray
Don’t want
To see you stay
Please just
Go slither away
