Holidays are cold now. No one h<strong>as</strong> found a way to sew back together the tear you rough in<br />

our family tapestry like a quiet knife. Questions full of icy fear rush in like a northerly wind<br />

looking to claim life.<br />

I’m freezing.<br />

You took away my words; you always had the l<strong>as</strong>t words. You were my own personal devil,<br />

set to destroy me.<br />

Well I have a question for you, my devil.<br />

What happens when you fail?<br />

You see, you may have been appointed to me, but that means you are stuck with me and I’m<br />

telling you you’ve failed.<br />

Cover me with scars- my own armor!<br />

Blind me- I will hunt you with the senses you honed in me so well!<br />

Fill my mind with anger and chaos- watch me channel it into vengeance!<br />

Poison me- I will grow immune!<br />

Give me fear to breathe- it’s cheaper than oxygen!<br />

Take away my warmth- watch me rise in flame <strong>as</strong> a phoenix, an all-consuming<br />

fire, burning away the human skin you wear <strong>as</strong> disguise!<br />

You have LOST.<br />

And I will consume you.
