Fireflies



My life turns on
Like fireflies do
Your life turns around
As mine does too

My Life lights up
Like a fireflies light
My love for you
Is saying goodnight

Out on an island
Are my goodbyes
For my letters are now present
And the burning flames mix with the milk black sky

For now goodbye
I’ll see you soon
Until now and then you’ll forget me too

 Your lights flash on
Like modern cars
You lay your seatback
Ready to connect

My cats’ fears
Rumble through storms

Your life's work
Burned throughout hesitation

For my life’s dream job
Is now in hell
And my life now gone
For now, you’ll see

I see what you see until I flash
A way to leave your world behind
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord, my soul, to take
