Glass

Like glass,

I am fragile 

And weak enough,

That when I fall,

I break and shatter

Into pieces irreplaceable.

But like glass,

And if you are the reason I fall,

I am strong 

And fierce enough,

That I will cut through your skin

And draw blood

Leaving behind a deadly scar.

A scar in memory

Of my vengeance

Merciless and unremitting.
