Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Impaled Dreams

Impaled
On your barbed tongue
    Insults glistening with spite
Against your heart of thorns, bleeding
Mine crying impaled tears
    A nail through our love
Impaled forlornly with cupids’ arrow
Poisoned by cruel words
    A dream promised impaled by abuse
