I've just read the last page of this novel

The book was lengthy, the ending was somber

There's a sun flickering out on the back cover

A lover putting a pall on a lover



I'll build a phoenix nest out of your old letters

I'll push aside all the petty things

The smoke will cover what no longer matters

Blot out what was, make way for what is



I'm the shooting star, so the wish is mine

And, burning, I wish to leave you behind



The tears were shaping my soul into the rose

The stately statue that I love so much

Suddenly I felt that the marble was cold

Then for the first time I voiced this vow



I feel there is a secret place 

I'll find no matter what it takes

I'm setting out on a quest 

Inside to regain some space

A place away from you, 

In the warm glow deep within the crystal heart

Paving the way with the jewels 

I'll find on the way to from where I start



I let my scream out for the first time

And the silence is shattered

I let my pain out for the first time
