Snake bite dead of night
your verbal tirade began
I know not why
did the drink
lend you courage
venomous words
latched onto my heart
slithering unsuspected you enter
stalking your victim
dark room you sense
me hiding
hissing
taunting, wanting to
abuse
tongue flicking of hatred to
inflict pain to belittle me
to tell me I was worthless
saying that I’ve changed
venom strikes, your goal to penetrate
coursing my veins, swimming my skin
the skin you yearn
pleasure gained
you sneer, voice loud
sadistic grin your job was done
sliding away not looking back
laughing, leaving me
confused
shaking glad to be
alone

I originally posted this, this afternoon to which I have now made some changes in collaboration with rulesofstupid RoS
In saying that RoS did an edit and came up with the below which I must share for as far as I am concerned it is sheer brilliance. Please look at his Poetry if you are interested in this genre.
Night-snake tirade Alcohol blades venomous words that latch my heart Slither silent Enter violence Sensing a victim Hiding Tongue-flick Hate-spit Pain hits Worthless Me I am less Than you married Poison words Penetrate As surrogate For the slide you desire Into my skin To curse my veins As you swim This attacks climax A sneer sadistic grin A mere scorn-soaked whim Then slip again Laugh leaving Me accused Shakingly glad To be Alone
