Question: Ever deal with a toxic individual!?
Fall
Your whine- It chills
It spills-staining excess
Over gilded cups
Tarnishing the etchings
Forming your own patterns
As your monologue
Falls from your lips
Your poison
It flows-it slinks
Into the community well
It swallows the electric
Tangled in your rue
We play our shadow puppets
In your one woman show
Twisted origami
Animals created
To turn on each other
Serrated teeth dig the meat
Cleanly off our bones
Yet you still
Pick our brains
Hang your dirty laundry
On your tainted lines
The mildew smell
Overwhelms us
Aftershocks tremble
Shaking the foundation
Uprooting the cement
Your bitterness is grinding
Digging into the calcium
Shooting fish in a barrel
Flopping around
In stagnant waters
Hook us in our mouths
As we lend our ears
Where do your sleeping
Dogs lie!?
Chained in your disdain
Locked up
In your tower
Throw your iced hair over
Rescue the temptress againWww@QuestionHome@Com
