I can hurt you

The poem is inspired by a character from my first novel Little Rebellion which you can get for free for a limited time only:  Little Rebellion

I can hurt you.
You’ve given me a weapon
when you underestimated me.
I can sneak up on you,
catch you off guard,
come at you at night
and spill blood.

I can hurt you.
You will never see me coming
because you do not see me at all.
I am a pawn in your game,
a chess piece you think you manipulate
but my edges are covered in arsenic
Poison is a female thing,
you kill yourself every time you take a piece of me.

I can hurt you.
I listened when you thought you covered my ears,
I learned your secrets
I know what makes you tick.
I know how to strike a nerve,
put you on the edge of insanity
I want to stand over your corpse
just for the fun of it.
