Mother of Poison


Her words spit venom

She is a self proclaimed high being

She is the mother of poison

and I am poison

I am poisoned

I am the seed sprouted only to spread the wicked word

She spit the venom into me

I, then, spit the venom into them

Like a scorpion, she stabs

Like a snake, she silently lurks

Like a spider, she goes about unnoticed

I am unaware of the sting of my words

Until she sends those back to me

Those wasp words

Ceasing to die after they've stung

An abusive lover she is
