i'd lie down with dogs a thousand
times over before i'd
ever
return to you(r bed), and i hope you
know that you are just
as vain
as your "efforts"

Short, incisive and yet tells a story. The feeling I get from your spacing, diction and lowercase"i" is one of smooth disdain and distant, cold "over you"-ness. Great job man :) loved how short you kept it. It made the tone that much more intense.
