Tempers

Ice bites back,

Fire lashes out.

Both leaving

Tears in their path

An unrelenting blizzard

Unforgiving burns

Painful shards

Competing with singed

Remarks

What can I compare to

Those icy glances

Or soulless eyes?

Am I wrong for wanting both?

They fight for dominance

Often forgetting that I am

In the middle.

Prodding at me to chose

When they know I cant

For if I lose either of them

I shall perish.

Longing for my love,

But cannot accept each other

Though they try,

For me.

I don't deserve either

Of them

I caused the war between them

And only stand back as they

Dance together

It is a beautiful display

Though only destruction

Is left in their wake.

Once warm touches,

Burn.

Once cool embraces,

Freeze.

Knowing how much it hurts

But can't stop,

Too consumed in their battles for supremacy

I yearn to hold the flames and ice

Together

So that we can be united

As one

Without me struggling

To be consumed,

By both.

Hi guys! I wrote this as a mortal kombat poem about my oc and subzero and scorpion. I don't know if I'll ever post the actual story since I'm so busy, but maybe I'll write a one-shot. Please r/r!
