I Am

I am a garden, full of magic

and overflowing with crimson rose,

tricking you into a love, hate relationship.

I am a ruby, the blade of Athos,

the flames of hell, the cold river stream,

the feral cat that stalks its prey without a sound.

I am those forgotten memories

that shadow your life.

The death you blame yourself for.

The life you sacrificed for something else.

The melody in the music you listen to each day.

The rain and windfall that happens in the night.

I am the snake ready to strike.

I am the demons in your life.
