You Poison My Mind Poem by Wanda Swim Strunk

You Poison My Mind



I poison my body
Because
You poison my mind

My words hover around you
Like lint in the air
Unnoticed
Until some light is shed on them

They whirl around you
Until
I breathe them back in
Just to spit it all back out
Again

The dirty dusty old words
Land around us
On our what-we-bring-to-the tables
For a moment
We dust off our arguments
Stirring it all up again

Our pattern
Is to let it settle again
So it settles
On my heart
But never on your ears

Will you ever
See my side of things
If you can’t
See me

You distressed your damsel
My Prince
Turned Frog
