oh i've seen you
not at all desirous
glances in the mirror
i've faced you before
you almost broke me
yes i was humbled
have no fear you say
you'll be back
with a vengeance
one last time
this i know
i'll avoid you now
taking deep breaths
in the sweet woods
that burn in the dark
where you lurk
but if i falter
as i will
and can no longer
count my fiery stars
you'll know damn well
i tried my best
to stare you down
