Hammered

You stab me with venomous spit

soak me in tormented moans

slash me with sharp knife words

rip my smile and sliver my esteem

thick boots of lacerated phrases

acid rupturing my life in furrows

floor littered with broken glass

fractured like yesterday’s bones

vomit reeking on floor in anguish

pinpricks of bruising insults, leaving

tracks dribbling across my distress

standing on my chest, you stomp

a preying vulture denting my skin

down on my knees, I hide my soul

from your red face screwed up

as you slit wounds in my heart

bleeding crimson torment drops

shattered life inside word toxin.
