Like A Phoenix

You made me burn in my own fire
When you acted a noble sire.
You think you are a mighty king
And I'm your slave that costs nothing.

Your love is superfluous for me
And with that I'll lose my beauty.
So thank you for the broken heart.
I loved you and will now depart.

Like a phoenix I will be rising
From my ashes after dying.
Watch me turn from worse to better.
Goodbye to you! Here's my letter.

From: 
The Philippines
