I don't see why.
I should be the one.
every time.
When my high horse
is still stabled.
why should I
cut the slack..
lower my standard..
give another chance.
and enable you.
to win again
against my principle.
I feel I'm rather too kind
for my own good.
so I let it slip
slide.. and continue
to blame myself.
Give him another chance..?.
How many does one man need?
What do you think happens
if he then breaks that trust..?
angry for being too stupid yet again..
.... angry with youself
for ever thinking people change..
Yes they do change
as The wind blows
in every direction
with some you'll be nothing
but  weather. Vane
Swinging till you rust
I trust you agree..
Now get lost.
