Kill Me, Kill You

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Mary (tqhousecat)

Douse my flames
Smother me
Till I am not even a glowing ember
Throw your dagger
Aim at my heart
The moon will howl
The stars darken
The sun will cease to rise
Who is the dragon
That you slay
But your mere reflection

    A thought provoking piece. I especially like the closing lines.

    We certainly do have internal dragons we must manage, slay if we are lucky Mary.

    The dragons within can be scary to confront.

    Oh, very clever. We see our own faults in the other far to easily.
