Feather of a Phoenix

Feather of a Phoenix

(Poem by Serenus)

 

 

When I first learned how to fly

You were right by my side

But as the flame in me

Began to get bigger

Yours, somehow

Seemed to flicker

Was it my spark

That tore us a part?

Because I refused

To dim my light

To make yours shine

Even more bright

I didn’t rely on you

To help me fly anymore

I had full control of my wings

Instead of you being happy for me

You set fire to my dreams

 

You tried to dilute my desire  

As I was souring higher

I tried to bring you with me

But you couldn’t handle the humidity

Birds of a feather flock together

But then you were gone

Through cold and stormy weather

I flew all alone, fire still strong

I want to make a mends

But I cant sit and pretend

Like you didn't hurt me

Leaving my heart singed...

So I'll give to you this feather

As a reminder …My old friend

That I love and miss you

But I’ll never give you

The chance to burn me... again
