Waterlily
Betrayal
Like a phoenix
Except
I’m rising from the water
Taking flame when I touch air
Redemption
Like a hero
Except
I’m no better
Than the enemy now
Fire
In my eyes
Except
The flames of my hatred
Will last for eternity
Loathing
Can change you
Except
I don’t feel changed
I feel free
Betrayal
Can only get you so far
Redemption
Will only give you so much
Fire
Can only get you destruction
Loathing
Will only give you a death wish
I have a death wish
Of
Betrayal
Redemption
Fire
Loathing
