Family's Grove

Your words so poisonous,
A venom without cure.
Naively you spew them,
Stupid, so sure.

To thrive or to die,
The ultimatum given by your call.
Whether meant to or not,
How dare you have the gall.

Anger simmers beneath my skin,
A bubbling Vesuvius,
No longer do I have kin.

You wretched people,
From you this hatred feeds.
It grows unhindered,
From raptured seeds.

Thorny vines come from our breath,
Tall and ensnaring,
Desolating until nothing is left.

Briars and nettles,
All I've ever known.
Their company I keep.
Their thorns, my home.

Blood red darkness,
Weaving in the shadows deep.
Like roses from the grave,
Bloom from my misery,
All for a girl unsaved.

Treacherous Mother,
With venomous breath.
Cradles Sinister Brother,
Full of emptiness and death.
Malicious Father,
Fooled thy daughter.
The family's grove grows,
Ready for slaughter.
