The Phoenix's Fall- Indrajit Ruidas

You were a phoenix,

I was content with your immortality.

You died, only to rise again from the ashes,

your appearance remained unchanged,

just as it was before your demise.

But I couldn't find joy in your rebirth,

for your reappearance came at a cost.

You lost your purity, your morality

and the integrity you held in your past life.

Your rebirth stole the satisfaction

I once had until your final moments.

Now, I no longer believe

in your resurrection from the ashes.

I accept that you are gone forever,

and your reappearance is but a phantom,

a creature of darkness, doing only evil,

defying the qualities you possessed before death.

I find solace in clinging to the memories till

your pre-death state, where you shone bright.
