Phoenix

She was my only lover

And I treated her like a friend

She protected me from being forgotten

She stuck with me through the end

I got a little hot headed and left her behind

Came crawling back with my tail between my legs

She was a good woman to forgive my stupidty

And welcome me back into her grace

I did my best to highlight her good sides

When strangers threw her against the wall

I made sure to show them the beauty she provided

Even when it wasn't meant for all

She was my rock throughout all my hard times 

She was my home, never far away from home

She was the dream that I had, when all others abandoned me

And I was left feeling alone.

The love of a good woman, when won right

Can turn a selfish boy into a man

And the warmth and compassion she extended to me

Helped that man to understand

If she could rise up from the ashes and still love his foolishness

Maybe he could settle down

If he could see her, and accept her for all that she is

He can stop being a clown.
