Tales of the Phoenix

She fights it off with all her lies
She covers it up with those hazel eyes
The truth within her too deep to see
So deeply hidden, but not hidden to me
I see into her mind like an open door
Behind the lies there's just so much more 
I look in and I see into her past
A hidden memory that just seems to last
It scrapes at her insides everyday
It tears her apart, just won't go away
Every night before she sleeps she weeps in her bed
Nothing to look forward to, just sorrow ahead
I have advice for this girl, words of the wise
Look ahead in life, let the past meet it's demise
Because someday girl
The past itself dies
