Phoenix

My entire being
frozen in stasis
eternal smile on my face
A stern wall towards reality
covering my screams
hiding my pain and longing

Then I met another smile
frozen in time
Someone that saw
by their own experience
noticing me behind the layers
passing through the walls

Daring to ask
wanting to know
tearing down my defences
by honest questions
a few simple words
striking my heart

You have killed me
yes you have
My love
And from the ashes
I will rise
Free at last.
