“And sometimes a bond like ours
is stronger than blood.”
When it comes to the people I care about, I will fight tooth and nail to help them. However I can. I will sacrifice pieces of myself to lift their spirits. Pieces of myself that I shouldn’t give away. Shouldn’t sacrifice. Because I’m already broken. I’m already divided into my base parts.
But I will be a punching bag, if needed. I will allow those bits to be crushed into dust, if needed. Because that’s how devoted I am when I have someone to call a friend. Someone like you. And when you bleed, I bleed. When you hurt, I hurt, too.

Sacrifice is in my blood,
and sometimes a bond
is stronger than blood.
The basic premise of this piece
inspired an upcoming novel
I’m preparing to write
in the Earthen Witch universe.
