To My Phoenix

To My Phoenix​

I don't know why
you fell for me
you say I'm special
but I'm not so sure

when the others see me
they look with scorn
but when you see me
you look with love

you see the little girl
the one that is afraid
so she lashes out
to keep others far away

I want you back
back by my side

I was a fool
I was blind
I didn't see the love
that you had

on our last day
I saw your soul
it burned the sky
and went to the heavens

your body fell back
no strength left
you gave it all
you gave it for me

I want you back
back by my side

you gave me a kiss
my very first kiss
but I don't know why
you would kiss me

you wanted to know
if you made me proud
as if you could actually
disappoint me

your body burned
consumed by fire
as I watched knowing
I couldn't save you

I want you back
back by my side

I stared into the sky
at that crimson hole
the one that was left
by your beautiful soul

for the first time
in many years
I let my weakness show
I cried for you

I don't know if
I could return your feelings
but I want more time
more time to try

I want you back
back by my side

please return to me
my dear phoenix
return to your ashes
become the girl you were

I'm sorry I failed
I'm sorry I'm weak
I'm so sorry that
I couldn't protect you

to my phoenix
I need you back
back by my side
