In Water and Fire

I won’t flow into the deep, troubled water twice. I won’t do it again, I promise solemnly. I regained peace of my soul, but at a price. Everything I need is to keep balance only. I won’t fling myself into the fire again For my burnt heart and my dreams turning into ash. It hurt me and caused chronic pain and destruction, Surrounded me and overcame in a flash… In the elements I had to find some solace. I lost myself wholly in the fire and water, I hardly survived the time of pain and madness, Yet I don’t regret any day and any hour…
