A Grate of Words

No likes yet ♦

from the ABC set Nasty Poetry.

You spill
your words.
A sizzle of venom
to corrode my esteem,
stale.
An acrid tang
lingers.

We used 
to talk,
way after the sun.
Now we shower each other
in shame.

I have always loved
the taste of Vinegar
on my tongue,
Lemon even...
Now I 
cannot
abide..

I love reading poems that get to the point like this does. No room for fluff on this topic and you have pulled it off really well. Transmitted the rawness. Great.
