So nice you say I glow at your words

Eyes wide, heart so swollen, I give you all

You take, you consume

I smile and give more

So nice you say

My soul soars

I give pleasure, I give support, I give me

Giving all to fill you

Giving all to grasp at love

So special you say

Then toss me away

So nice, but not loved

You chuckle, a smile and a hug to placate me

You really are so nice

Nice brings a fleeting mirage, but never a love

Nice can never bring best

Nice fails against the rest

Nice brings no love, just flowing blood and a shattered heart

Can a soul survive nice

Can hope bring forth the Phoenix

Can pain, can anguish temper nice

Can fire forge nice into best

Can the tears of nice break its curse

Can I rise thru the ashes like the Phoenix
