Rising from the dirt of abandonment like a Lotus in swamp,
I looked up to you like a Sunflower gazes at the Sun.
Gathering my broken pieces of a faintly beating heart,
I dared myself to love again.
Consumed by the flames of emotions,
The soul surrendered to your magnetism.
Like a moth to a flame I flew too close to the Sun
Inevitability ensued promptly.
The warmth transformed to a searing heat.
Scorching me to the bones and scarring my consciousness.
The soul was burnt, the heart melted away to oblivion
Dreams shattered into a million pieces
This time I won’t be invictus
This time I won’t get back up with my bloodied head and an aching heart
This time my eyes search for you
While I lay defeated
If I walk the earth again,
There will be no light in my soul,
No spark in my eye
No smile on my lips
You’ve taken them all with you.
May you shine in all your glory, eternal sunshine
While I bite the dust!
