fighting fire with fire.

you are not as unbreakable as you think you are. you are not invincible, unfeeling or untouchable. you may proclaim that you are these things and more; you may shout it from a rooftop for the world to hear; but there is a certain wavering in your crystalline voice - tiny and inaudible to most, but booming loud in my ears. i am not nearly as gentle and meek as you think i am. i will not be forgiving, compassionate or merciful. i will not fear you anymore - not now, never again. i may have been tricked into believing you before; i may have been blinded by dazzling, empty promises - but, rest assured, you will never make a fool of me again. with a smile, one word will escape in a sigh from my lips; as golden and sweet as the soft whisper of angels' wings. and you will shatter into a thousand pieces at my feet, wishing you had never stolen a heart that was not yours to take. "monster." i can fight fire with fire, but can you?
