It’s the physical confrontation of visible flaws that trigger relapse. Sometimes the choice to walk away is taken for granted.

Breath pumps 
Heart gasps 
Brain collapses 
Battery acid floods the sewer drain of veins
The mirror doesn’t recognize the body 
Therefore it bares no reflection
Invisible.
Dodge a hook 
Split a lip
realize blood flows in both victims 
One will walk away but one is either lost to a fight for a insufficient title,
false security 
the other dead due to a lethal overdose of pride
Shattering glass is the sound of round two 
get up
Blink into a second of time and breathe in a new fate. Where one stood there are now three game on
Busted knuckles
Cracked ribs 
Pain is just a word
Just as much as victory in this case. 
Throw a left and shut the mechanism of an over zealous eye into a coma 
Splash of comfort sends a voltage coursing through the body 
Maybe it’s possible to walk away
No exit. Pad lock the escape. Break off remaining ties of loss and snap a dislocated shoulder into alignment. 

Yell and feel alive.
Drop an elbow. 
Eat a fist. 
Black out. 
Bend a knee. 
Submit. 
Final blow.
Tonight. A body lays still. A mirror left broken. A door stands and will forever remain locked.
