Hey there!

I too would like to be a Phoenix
But that would require for me to suffer
Burn into the unknown
In hopes of something great
We both know years from now our memories will fade and your smile will become unclear
So I’m spending $21 every month to keep you alive
Technology won’t die
I watch from the windows as two lovers argue about something
Too far to hear too close to be in their business
For once I wanted to switch places
We’d fight and then apologize
You’d come over and show me how your sorry
Your warmth squeezing onto me.
Tides clean the sand in between my toes
Rain washes dirt in my nails
The pen glides against the paper
And I am caught
Once again, reminiscing you
Cleansing me.

Nicely done. I could picture most of this as I read today because much of it sound very familiar. Not too sure about the $21.00 but that's okay too. Your poem has life, a pulse, it breathes. Really good.
