Clean

by OkayAndAlways

From the ashes I have risen Like a Phoenix I have flown I rise past the oceans and mountains Up beyond the clouds and the stars Follow the second light to the right And straight to my memories I go Back to the sun shining bright The creek humming sweetly With shadows dancing across your face You almost hid our impending doom Even now I can't help but find you beautiful I watch as you grab her small hands And just like a strange sort of deja vu You pick up the pieces of us And toss them at her feet Your words are still cruel I shudder at the thought With a slight pang in my chest That's the thing about scars They never truly fade But something is different Almost out of place I just don't seem to recognize The girl with her hands to her face Erupting from inside of her Is words I can hardly make out With shoulders heaving with heavy sobs Please stay Now I feel stoic No longer do hot tears adorn my cheeks And as you turn your back to me My shoulders do not quiver And my hands lay calmly at my side For it is such an odd thing To look upon the person you used to be As I let escape One last little sigh I spread my wings high And with my gaze forward I never looked back
