The day of reckoning is a beast in its own
It creeps up on you unaware
It arrives on a whim with its head held high
And burns everything to ashes
Till love nurtures the ashes to life
Love...it doesn't let go even when you die
It is a strange beast
You can ship it, starve it, push it down your insides
But you can't pull it out of you
If your heart knows where it belongs
You'll fight with the whole world to get there
A wise man once said
It's truly a blessing to be in love
Let it possess you
Let it bound you within its shackles
Let its serenity silence the poison in you
Love is its own reward
No one wins; no one losses

Everything was burning inside her with the sting of the words swirling in her mind. Clutching the railing, she got up and walked inside the room. Drops of blood from her arm fell on the floor marking the earth with their heat.
