Rise

Always loyal.
My wings;
they grow weary of your flight plan.
Constantly on route...
at your beck and call.
To busy feeding you life,
to moonlight.
You drain loves fire from within my soul...
to a measly candle flame,
that flickers.
Bleeding the once vibrant deep plum,
of my chest and wings...
which no longer shine for all to see.
Now just a dull pale washed out pink,
that holds no beauty.
My tail of gold has become brittle and fragile,
for this I hold no value...
what was once thought of as rich and pure;
is now tainted and useless.

"How did i become so weak?"

He said " your colours have faded,
Its time for you to go.
Build your nest elsewhere,
reflect your thoughts and burn...
with the rejected heart that lays within".

So for the last time, I will do as you wish.
I will sit in our nest.
As my last tear for you falls, igniting me;
causing inferno.
Roaring flames light up the night sky...
hiding my screams;
To you they remain a stranger.
Reaching a deafening key,
they begin to burn out.
Reduced to a mere pile of ashes on a branch,..
well...
that's what your arrogant ego had hoped for...
but from ashes, a phoenix is reborn.

    This piece pulled feelings of irritation from me (up until the very end.)

    Seriously, every few lines, I'm thinking "What a fookin douchebag", "a sshole", "pompous bastard"

    I think you scribed the feelings of being taken advantage of, having the life sucked from you....very well

    I like how after describing this familiar process...of loving too much, giving too much, being left with nothing after being everything to someone....you basically, wave your finger high when you reference

    "But from ashes, a phoenix is reborn."

    (My favorite symbol of true strength btw)

    The last line, made me think..hell yes. Let the heartbreak roll right off your fkn back and rise above all this.

    Powerful. Which, I love.

      Stupid grin is back....I love your reviews :D
      It took me a while to sort my head and feelings out,...
      One- so I could finish "alas...forever my love"
      Two- get my feelings down on paper and out of my head for this shity ending.
      Three- so I could move on! :)

      I used ben as the enemy to be honest...(Sorry ben) There's a few of his poems that hit me hard, one especially but also gave me a release, as at the time I didn't want to deal with any of it! But he inspired me, "if he can do it, so shall I"... the guy is facking lethal with a pen... Utmost respect for him.

      Anywho, there you have it and now I can let go! :D
