Back To Square One

Disaster has once again struck
my heart that harbors no luck, 
And in my own melancholy
I once again face a harsh reality. 

Months ago, I met a dazzling flame;
A phoenix who put me to immediate shame,
who lit my heart with a golden ember,
and gave me hope of a possible forever.

Now, here I am again, 
back to square one with my pen. 
I'm still happy about this opportunity 
to search for another ephemeral eternity.
