I met you because I wished upon a star
I closed my eyes and whispered,
"Find me"
And through the twilight and shadows
You came to me like a ray of sun when Zeus cried
My heart beat was set to a flutter
Like the butterflies in my stomach
That crowd the roses of my cheeks
I was broken bones
And no one wants broken bones
So they cremated me, without a kiss on my body
And buried me away
In the ashes I rose
And a beast swelled in my womb
His name was Pain
Fathered by the demons who raped my soul
But you
I showed the beast your face
And he was fed with kind words and
L
O
V
E
My liver festered
Cracked
Hurt
The wind shied away from me
The beast met with irrational fear
He rebelled in my grasp
And called himself
Desperation
The bastard left
And my time was cut short
The leash broke
But my bones were more broken
Love roared around me
Flames searing the highest of skies
When I was lit
I was burnt
I am but a young dove now
Brought up by phoenixes
I hear their cries
One bitten, twice as shy
Do not come find me in the center of the sun
I will be nothing but
A memory in your heart
