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
