Liar

She is angry with me, again.
‘Why do you do it?’ she rants. ‘Don’t you want this to work? Don’t you want to settle down, start a family?’
I hang my head, shamefaced.
‘It won’t happen again, I swear it.’ My hand is on my heart.
But I am lying.
To her and, much worse, to myself.
Because deep down I know I am too obdurate to change.
I’ll always be bad.

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.
