Notes About The Poem

How could you understand?

Your breath spews poison,
your words like hail
storm the night.

You're toxic and
your truth is blackness
doused with venom.

There is no room for compromise.

Line, you've succinctly captured the essence of a toxic person, and I've known a few in my lifetime. Well done! yellow rose
