Poison Tongue

You sit, still speaking with poison tongue

Do you not realize that I know

Everything you’ve said and done

To ruin everything I valued most?

You took so much away from me

Through your rash and selfish grumbling

You cost me everything you could

Manipulated trust to take me down

And as I’m still recovering

You turn your wicked words my way

Acting as if nothing’s wrong

As if I still trusted you

But I won’t let you close again

And I won’t let you stake your claim

You won’t get to use me up

You already had your fill

And now I’ll walk away
