the betrayed Phoenix

as she saw their betrayal, 


she saw the salacious truth , 
she saw the vindictive stories , 

her feathers scorched with the fire of love ,
her claws bleeding from the scratches of her friends ,

she  looked into her heart , 
and saw gashes of iron .... 

her wings clipped with trust, 
her feet bound with brass 

her colors stolen by love, 
her spirit ripped with a platinum glove

what once was home,
was now a glorified tomb,

what once was created with hope,
was now but only a crippled ghost,

what once was given with trust , 
was now on the pedestal of despair,

she looked around and saw the shadow of her life , 
shadow of the promises , 
shadow of the future .... 

what could be was but a lie , 
what was a promise was now only but a cage ...
