I could feel its weight
The mass it carried through my fingers
The silk lacing between
The power behind it
The surge
The force
I knew its danger
I knew its power
I knew the risk of falling in
I knew it
But it was life-sustaining
It pumped through my heart
Caught fire in my heart
Caught fire in my veins
Wrapped its fingers around my throat
Held my soul in its bare hand
Dangled my thread
In front of my glossed eyes
Held the scissor limply in its grasp
A crooked smirk aboard a deadpan face
So I bit that ******* apple
And I heard the click
