I've just read the last page of this novel   The book was lengthy, the ending was somber   There's a sun flickering out on the back cover   A lover putting a pall on a lover      I'll build a phoenix nest out of your old letters   I'll push aside all the petty things   The smoke will cover what no longer matters   Blot out what was, make way for what is      I'm the shooting star, so the wish is mine   And, burning, I wish to leave you behind      The tears were shaping my soul into the rose   The stately statue that I love so much   Suddenly I felt that the marble was cold   Then for the first time I voiced this vow      I feel there is a secret place    I'll find no matter what it takes   I'm setting out on a quest    Inside to regain some space   A place away from you,    In the warm glow deep within the crystal heart   Paving the way with the jewels    I'll find on the way to from where I start      I let my scream out for the first time   And the silence is shattered   I let my pain out for the first time
