Opposites

An incision to the flesh,
scarlet that seeps out,
a god of death.

Sinner and saint,
treachery and loyalty,
sword and shield.

A heavenly healing light,
scars unknown,
an angel of life.

Chevalier and antagonist,
sacredness and unholiness,
peace and quagmire.

Never one without the other,
never resting or ceasing,
never losing nor winning.
