Good thing I still have that anti-venom

You stand there,
beautiful to the eye
in the sunlight,
but coiled,
a serpent,
cold blooded,
prepared to strike,
a venom of words
waiting to infect
my mind, my will,
turn them into a oozing
puddle of puss.
Maybe you can't help
how pathetic you still are
but thank God
I'm not the monster
you thought I would be.
