| Love's Firefly She reached out to the light Darkness emphasizing lonely night Holding tightly to her lovers hand Countless words in her head like grains of sand Her free hand runs through tangled hair Tangled as are her thoughts she lay thinking there She turns to face his sparkling eyes Her sadness hidden by happiness� disguise Stars above twinkle and smile Seconds go by, they�ve been there awhile Soft grass blades tickling her arm in playful winds breeze Words travel up through her throat, but at mid-sentence freeze The seriousness of it all The rapid decline, the painful fall From best friends, to closeness, lovers still Lying here, paying destiny�s bill Offering our argument to the sky Gazing off, wondering why My greatest thrill, my greatest friend The alarming chill, dramatic end You mutter words and then you smile Stand up, brush off, in denial Kick the tree stump as you walk by I cover my eyes with my hand and cry Gone, just like you said to me I blame myself in my stupidity I forced it on you and look where I put us We just ended, no harsh words, no fuss And now I lay here, head in my hand No idea where we stand Above my head passes a lonely firefly On and off goes it�s light as it goes by I watch it, and laugh, drying my tears A sign for my future years Maybe the love isn�t gone, and it will always be On and off, you and me I can see you laughing at my idea I haven�t told you yet I won�t mention it, but I won�t forget The reassurance of the lonely firefly Who winked and danced in night�s sky Love is like a book on the shelf Two hundred pages thick, a test of self Can we read it all the way through Are we that important to you Please don�t let it permanently be Left open, pages folded, on fifty-three. |
| Meant To Be Was A Possibility Always be together, I heard them say. Two birds of a feather, they�ll stay that way. I had no idea what they meant, now I see They were implying, you are meant for me That was then, this is now And I can still hear their words somehow They echo in your eyes, times long since seen I can�t help wondering how it may have been If you and I would have just bothered to see How good being together could be. Now it is too late and I�ll never know How I was supposed to love you so The possible sunsets that we would have spent together The bad times the good times and sunny weather I have visions where we live out fairytale dreams And never have problems, or so it seems. So here�s a farewell to my friends and all the best. Though you were my favorite of all the rest. |
| Yesterday Just like yesterday When you came over and asked to play Leaves falling to the ground Shouting chants to anyone around Make lemonade for us to drink Taste it, throw it down the sink Eat the apples of the tree One for you, one for me Sitting, under the branches, talking Watching birds fly overhead, squawking Wiggling as ants crawl over our feet Walking barefoot down the street Games of tag, and hide and seek You loved to scare me, hear me squeak Laying on the grass, under eachother�s star Wondering how we could ever reach that far Thrusting our arms forth to the sky Even though we knew they wouldn�t get quite that high Needed something to ask for, something to set our goals But life�s sweet revenge took its tolls How could you never tell me of your past? Of the relationships that you couldn�t make last The fact that you lied, you hurt and you stole Has left deep within me, the unfixable hole You didn�t hurt me physically But by your actions, don�t you see? Apparently you thought I wasn�t trusting Our shiny past in continuously rusting In the back of my head by my sorrows tears How could you lie to me for three years? |
