death

death

is easy

to cause.

all beings are so

fragile

breaking with

a single word.

all beings

-except this one.

half-blood

child

still so young and

powerless.

how did he bring me to

this state

of weakness

of near-death

of

broken and un-mended?

neither can live

while the other survives.

this child

who

-almost-

destroyed me

will not do it

again.
