revered dawn of love
was I too blind to see you
a false happiness

knife of your disguise
twisted into a blunt tongue
but had pierced my heart

omnipotent vines
you strangled around my lungs
couldn't breathe the air

frail hopes and deep scars
impaled by your irony
left me a fallen

classic history
fell and lost but I rose like
a phoenix from ash

Favorite Quote:
When life gives you lemons make iced tea because you make your own paths in life not fallowing behind others, true love never dies, don't give up on your dreams, if you shoot for the moon and miss don't worry because you'll land among the stars.
