Phoenix


Breaking, shattering, crashing

Every piece of me

Permenantly cracked beyond repair

I gave you everything I was

And you took advantage

 

You waited until I had been

Lulled into a sense of security

Until I believed that

Everything would last forever

That we would be

Never ending, nearly eternal

 

One phone call and 

It was all over

My past felt like a lie

My future no longer existed

I had lost everything

 

So now here I am

Trying to pick up

My jagged shards

And attempt to 

Put myself back together again

 

You broke me but

I am not broken 

Like a phoenix

I will rise from the

Ashes you made of me

 

Like a phoenix

I will be reborn in 

The flames of my own making

I am the product of

What you made me

 

You made me a warrior

A champion for myself

A beautiful, firey Phoenix

Ready to raise hell
