Phoenix

You said I was

The one you loved.

But

That was only

One of many lies

You told me.

When I gave you

My heart

I gave it lovingly.

When you tore it

From

My chest

You did so forcefully.

When I told you

Everything

I did so trustingly.

When you repaid me

With your lies

You did so

Willingly.

I gave you

Everything I had

And you

Took all of it

And more.

You left me

Empty.

Drained.

Soulless.

I want to

Hate you

But instead 

I just 

Miss you.

How could

You have betrayed me

So badly

And yet

I still long to

Hear from you again?

I am not

The only one

You have left 

Damaged.

Hurt.

Destroyed.

No.

You left him

Behind too.

You put him

Behind you.

You decided that

We were too

Close to the lies.

So you

Closed your eyes

And said goodbye.

Well this is me

Telling you

That I may be

Empty.

Drained.

Soulless.

Damaged.

Hurt.

Destroyed.

But I am

A phoenix.

You have

Turned me to

Ashes

But I shall rise 

Again.
