Angry, vicious words.
They are poison to my soul.
They rip me apart,
And feast on my fear.
Like a dragon,
They burn me to oblivion.
They are poison to my soul.
Hate-filled, despising glares.
Like a knife to my heart.
Slashing and twisting;
Causing unbearable pain.
My blood runs down my chest.
Gore and blood- I hate them;
Like a knife to my heart.
Poison and knives.
