Poetry In Potion

He still haunts my dreams both night and day My bruises healed but the terror still stays Numerous Flash backs of being used So I wrote a spell just for the abused Crocodile Tears of the insincere Wax gathered from satanic ear Hair from the head of a narcissist Tongue of a falsifier, add snakes hiss Breath of a psychopath is needed next Blood of a fraudster to forge this hex Beard of a coward cut at midnight Hacked off by a witch before she takes flight Pages from a self-help book read by the abused now boil and cook Now comes Saliva of a deceiving man Toe nail clippings from a charlatan Now stir it well , add blackened tooth speak your words , tell your truth Close your eyes and recall it well Recollect his hatred and Feel it swell Mix it now from left to right Remembering his vicious spite Take a breath let silence sing Now let his own medicine ooze within

The title is clever and I like the way you concocted this potion with rhyme that flows just like a spell chant. Bless your heart, I hope you will find healing.

"Tongue of a falsifier, add snakes hiss" Empaths often make a relationship with these snakes; we want to save them. So glad you chose yourself! Loved this poem and this line especially Elaine.

Lol I doubt if any witchcraft book contains such a powerful potion, Elaine! I am sure it's an ideal one to deal with a vicious abuser. Take care, and move on with head held high. ~ Regards // paul

I feel your pain. I lived with that guy for the first 17 years of my life. I wrote a book titled “DUMMY, Hurtful and Healing Words” My father provided plenty of inspiration.

A mighty honest piece Elaine, frightening and sad to read but pray you'll come out victorious on the other side. Blessings for you, Gordon
