Chimera

The strength in my soul

The beat of my heart

All was gone as I begged for mercy

All was lost, I was ripped apart

I was forced to give up

I was ready to move on

But then came a ray of light

To melt a heart forlorn

I couldn't fathom the feeling

The signs of life were long gone

But what had changed the mood

What had breathed into me a new song?

The fading eyes of yesterday

Were showing signs of revival

I had been dead for a long time

But why do I now long for survival?

No, this cannot be my salvation

I have been there before

I have seen the destruction of dreams

That life that I abhor

So, leave me by the wayside

Don’t sing those cheerful verses

I am a bottomless pit of despair

I am the epitome of blasphemy and curses

Go, live your dreams

And sing your beautiful song
I am no phoenix

Love has been a chimera all along
