The day my boy became a Phoenix
my skin was soaked in sapphire
My shambles of a heart could not prevail
amidst tears and disbelief
The day my boy became a Phoenix
They gave me such a scorn
We christened him Christopher,
after his grandfather
He was inerrant in my eyes
like no Jewel I’ve ever known
This haphazard universe could not abound
the illimitable mark he had imprinted
Turns out he was neurotic after all
All I wanted to believe
My beautiful naive poet
I’d bleed to protect till death
And thus the years flew by
I had one genuine thing to learn
When push comes to shove
Turns out we’re neurotic after all
That day was the beginning of my hellish dream.
