Untitled #14 [Ballad of the Phoenix]

My fire has burned for all of time,
A fire that can destroy
A fire that can heal.
The fire that can hate completely
The fire that can love unconditionally
Can I be loved?

I am the avenger,
I am the defender.
Who will protect me?
My destiny is eternal;
As the fate of a celestial guardian.
Will you fight by my side?

The stars are my home,
The universe is my domain
Can you live with me there?
Gaze into my eyes,
See the truth they contain.
Are you already there inside them?

I can deliver the deadliest blow;
Or the softest touch.
Can you do the same?
I am fierce yes,
But I'm not all that I seem.
Do you really want to find the real me?

The fires inside me rage.
They are a part of me.
Do they intimidate you?
There is no need to be afraid.
Together we can accomplish so much.
Can you trust me to guide you?

I am strong on my own.
But I could be so much stronger.
Can I trust you to be there for me?
Look me in the eyes.
Do not try to hide yourself.
Let me look inside you.
