    you told me once that​
    you would never sit​
    under the apple tree​
    with anyone else but me.​

    you lied.​

    That's real effective use of layout: the way you spaced the words 'you lied' apart from the main stanza of the poem, and the full stop after just those two words, make it uncomfortably abrupt-which is how I feel it should be, because you're holding this person's lies up for scrutiny while you watch them squirm, almost. I like that :) And the '(bitch)' at the end added humour to the poem as well. You seem a very bitter poet, perhaps disiullsioned with love, whatever. If that's the case, then it's comforting to think I'm not the only one who feels that way!

    That's ok. I was born in Hammersmith; lived in Fulham for a while, then moved to the outer suburb of Northolt (shithole). And guess what?! I'm now in Brighton, have been for years but I still consider London my home 'cause most of my family live there. I'm currently at Sussex Uni, but I'm switiching, hopefully to Bristol :) What part of NYC do you live in, and have you always lived there? If so, Brighton's a long way to visit :(

    As someone else said, very effective. With a minimum of words, you really hit right to the heart of it. Well done.
