Transcendence

Under the blanket of stars

I lay my secrets bare

of a man I once knew

with eyes the color of the sea

and a heart full of love

protective to a fault

giving into a sense of safety and love

As darkness takes hold

Let the truths be seen

of a man i now know

with eyes the color of the sea

now a turbulent storm of evil and lies

A touch that burns my skin

as he took what he desired

molding my mind, body, soul

into a creation of his design

turning a beating heart

that once beat for him

to ash

Under the glow of the moon

witness the avowal be made

of a girl I once knew

with the fragile heart 

turned to ash

as she gathers the remains

of her calcined crux

forging them with her luminescence

bringing forth the strength and beauty

unexampled that of the rarest diamond

Under the incandescence of her luminosity

I let the transformation set apart

of the woman i was born to be

as i transcend into an ardor

unparalleled to steel

a new perspective on what beauty truly is

a creation of my resilience

no longer his
