The Fall and the Rise

Memories of the time I'm glad I left behind

I was true

I was young

I was love

I was song

I was water

I was fire

I was friendship and desire

 

And you changed me

You made my true a lie

My youth aged

My love, hate

My song, silence

My water, drought

My fire, ash

My friendship, enmity

And my desire you crushed with your hands

 

I’m dead

I’m broken

I’m barren

I’m alone

But I’m still strong

I’m still me

I’ll fight back

I’ll fight you with everything I have

 

I got my truth back

I got my youth

My love

My song

My water and fire

My friendship and desire

 

I kicked you out

I erased you from my life

Like a phoenix on fire

From the ashes I rise

You

You are the ashes I left behind

You are gone

 

I am strong

I am fire

I am friendship and desire

So true and so very sad, but it ends with strength and determination, like a phoenix rising. I enjoyed reading this :) Penny

My exwife did the something to me. Keep strong and never let anyone take who you are away from you.

[Sibusiso Xtdo Gama]

the first two stanza display a life being taken away from one by another who only mess things up

I got my truth back( i like the turning point here with the writer suddenly taking ownership of a life the seemed to be owned bu another)
I got my youth
My love
My song
My water and fire
My friendship and desire..here the person was really in charge of the writers life.

I kicked you out
I erased you from my life
Like a phoenix on fire
From the ashes I rise
You

The first time you get your heart broken is the worst one, learning to deal with it and move on is a bittersweet learning experience. Unfortunately those heartbreaks don't get easier, just easier to get over. Any ways, excellent expressed.

Wise words... I never get easier but we learn the recipe to get over it ... and sometimes not even the recipe works and you have to fully reeinvent yourself...

Oh yes you do, it took me a while to find myself again after my divorce.

I'm a bit young to be married but i had a boyfriend for the longest time and our break up has hell i changed who i was for him when the time came I no longer knew who I was.... But I'm a fighter ... I go by the moto The only worthless battle in the one you haven't fought if you win or lose you'll always learn something...
