cold steel, dancing again
entwined with my body,
taste of blood in my mouth
as i call out in rage
in my helplessness...
but i will not hide.
i came to you last time
knelt low and took the blows
full force, head on
sat still and tasted
blood in my mouth again

do you look at me before you kill me?
i look at you every time.

Penned by my hand on the 2nd of Glacian, in the year 284 AF.
