I still recall

Your joyous laugh

The way I looked so shocked

As you saved me from my past

The smoke began to fade

As I took your hand

How could we have known

The tale of how it would end?

You showed me your home

I couldn’t imagine going back

And yet, betrayal runs deep

And my heart starts to crack

Your yells and your screams

Blaming me for not my deed

As she flees in the green

Star clenched in her teeth

I told you of my ember

You told me of the same

And together, we were friends

How tragically it ends

Because I was a bird in a cage

You were a sword shattered, enraged

Mercilessly clipping my wings,

Estranged

Leaving me to cry

in the growing flames
