You stung me with your waspish words Injecting poison into my very soul Again and again with those stinging syllables Your words buzzed around my brain Still you flew in and continued your scathing attack It all came so easily to you Viscous vitriol freely flows from your foul mouth Deeper and deeper the venom seeps You just stood there laughing at me Continuing the little jibes and digs Constantly belittling me Criticising the way I look. Mocking everything I say and do Telling me I’m useless The only thing you could never find fault with was my cooking - I trained as a cordon bleu chef My tears no longer flow They have dried up like my self-confidence Finally I can take no more So I’ve cooked up a tasty little treat for you Added my own special spice to your curry I sprinkled flaked almonds on the top They should mask the taste of the cyanide Bon Appetite!

GREAT TWIST. that was my favorite part of the poem. I recall this old country song where a woman helps her best friend get rid of the abuser. Wish I recalled its title though. This one is like that one!
