I can taste my own blood from clenching my teeth so hard to prevent me from screaming in a hopeless life.

I feel every muscle ache in my body as I sit in a tense position to prevent me form running away from this living cage that imprisons me.

A hunger to see your blood puddle about your withering body makes me salivate with anticipation to watch you pay.

I want to rip your tongue from your mouth to silence the poisonous words you speak to me as I hate you in silence.

I yearn to watch you suffer for all of the stupidity I have watched you create with men as I growl under my breath.

A new vigor of hate rises in me, wishing to drive a stake through your heart & burn you at the stake for all of your poison in my life.

Home is where the heart is but my heart is imprisoned here and yearns to return to a home I still love & call my own.

Tears fall as I sit in my locked room, so I do not lash out with vicious thirst that is only quenched by your demise.

I sit quietly, hating you completely, poisonous words drip like venom from your tongue, & I lock myself in my room to spare myself your presence.
