do not trust the dragon only wants to play
withdrawal moves closer to my heart than confrontation
I keep it up
though I long for a run
this examined life gets too heavy and fighting monsters without arms futile
loving we’re told will solve it all
then love comes in many forms I respond
fangs and fire flame from its nostrils confusing the warmth for heat
before I end it all
feel the scorch of earth realize this too
is alive
