I always thought it was a battle
A battle void of light
Sickening
A never-ending sensation
Yet
With every cut
Something beautiful came from its touch
Something magical
Something fateful
Something beyond what it was
A death renewing what was lost
A breath that revives
A crime that makes people smile
It was never just a battle
No
It was a dance
A dance that enabled me
To feel peace
When the flame was slowly
Killing me
