poison tongue
your poison tongue
pierced my heart
and i bled
for twenty years
“no more!” i shouted
i had nothing left
to give
you removed
your poison tongue
without so much
as a thank you

Ain’t that the way it goes?
Wow. I really like this; especially the first stanza! “I bled for twenty years”. So powerful.
Good ending.
“Without so much as a thank you”- this line really speaks to me. Often we give our best to those who never even recognize it.
…that was my life…… thanks for putting it into words.
Poison can be slow as your poem reveals…
