Family Or Foe

They are just four very lonely people
finding a few moments of joy with each other. 
All alone, yet with each other. 
Each exist in their own world 
wishing they were somewhere else with someone else doing something more.
Some hearts broken,
Others too heavy to beat or perhaps
have grown too cold to feel anything.
Affection they don’t have,
emotions they can’t control,
their power is a story best untold…
They are the closest and furthest thing they all have
Guaranteed support neither will ever turn to.
Fire, fire that can burn the heart, fire than can burn the other 
Blade to cut an enemy blade to cut their own 
Who is it that you turn to when your fiercest ally is your most unforgiving enemy?
