Phoenix Soul

When you live in the dark

A speck of light burns

An alien virus searing veins

Light so  foreign to the dark

That minuscule speck of light

Burns a hole in the dark ice

Releasing shadows and demons

That tear into the soul and being

But when there is enough light

The ice will thaw and melt

Drowning the shadowed demons

And freeing the tortured soul

The melted ice runs like tears

Over all the cuts, bruises, and gashes

Bringing back the pain as it heals

Creating a phoenix from the burned soul
