#spiteful poems on Hello Poetry

Rubianne Foster Dec 2024

“Mama tried,” Mama lied.
Mama stole your car and sold it for a price
Married five times, Mama never could decide.
Always called me ugly, but I have Mama’s eyes.
Betrayed by fate, Mama hates that she’s alive.
Stay up late at night just to hear Mama cry.
It’s hard to feel pity when Mama casts you to the side.
There was never any love in the house where Mama resides.
But sure, Mama tried. Mama Tried.

Bitter moon

Cold harvest

The fruits of your labor
never to ripen

Without

You were once a part of me
A piece that I lacked,

now you're a piece I don't ever want back.

Goodbye.

Hurt

Don't look now,
but my heart is in two

The last I'd think to be hurt by is you

I wish I'd known this prior to our post,
that those who love you know how to hurt you most

So don't look now,
but there's a dead end

For you and I can never start again.

This one's from one broken heart to another.

Spiteful

Why can't we forget
How the weeds grew in our yard
The ones we removed

An eye for an eye

Is it tenacious
to take mine
because i took yours,
or perhaps only foolish
to both end up blind

a method I don't agree works well in the long term

Untitled

i would just like to say that you make me angry. when i think of your unoriginality and your entitled tone of speech, my blood boils. sometimes i think of how much happier i would be if i could leave your bland face behind and just start over. your face makes me want to pack up all my things and run to the edge of the planet.

possibly fall off !

gaslighting

now swallow your words
for that matter your tongue too
spit out saltwater

1. They tell blatant lies.
2. They deny they ever said anything, even if you have proof.
3. They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
4. They wear you down over time.
5. Their actions do not match their words.
6. They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.
7. They know confusion weakens people.
8. They project.
9. They try to align people against you.
10. They tell you or others that you are crazy.
11. They tell you everyone else is a liar.
