I fled the city
As they tried to shower me in pity
And I fought with tooth and bone 
So that I could be alone 
With myself on the verge
Of something I don’t have the nerve
To do 
But you 
Always effervescent in your incandescence
Inspire reverence 
And all their lies 
Their ties and futile tries
Can’t bind this spirit of mine
As it refuses to do hard time 
In the spring of seasons 
And everyone has their reasons
But you are mine 
And I am fine 
Now that the grass has grown
The beautiful birds have flown 
And the phoenix in me 
Reserves the right to be set free
In a cacophony of fire and smoke 
And I may be flat broke 
But I am wealthy beyond measure 
And my treasure 
Resides in the box within 
I just wanted to share it with him
