The Phoenix in me

The fire went out in me
I became so cold and lost
I didn’t know my way out of this situation.
I knew if I didn’t get out of here.
I would push everything I wanted away and I’d regret it.
I couldn’t see the truth because I was so angry and ashamed.
I couldn’t see the light of my love inside of me anymore for it was gone, because I didn’t understand why talking was so hard for you.
But then you disappeared and in your place was the stranger I never truly knew.
I had been hiding from myself because I wanted the fun.
Now that my fire has returned.
I can’t go on staring at the ashes you have become as my fire burns so strong for me and no one else.
I know you feel it
And soon I’ll out burn you like newspaper once you read it, serves no purpose to you anymore.
As I burn you up
The need for your presents in my life becomes no more.
Like the smoke from my fire, you will fade away as I become my fires only focus.
