toxic tendrils
even now,
so long after,
his toxicity reaches into my home
his nasty black tendrils attempt to wrap themselves around my heart
try to choke the hope, smother the peace that i have finally found
will i ever be free? truly and wholly?
free from his darkness? looming toxic clouds, sucking away any joy
but even as the tendrils seek to touch me
the fire that has become my heart
repels them
they shrivel away, leaving but a ghost of their intrusion
they are not allowed in my home, they will not touch me:
i am stronger than his poison.
