Fireflies

In your mind, what do you see?
In your eyes, I see pools of reflection
Though you’re kind, I feel disdain I recognize
But do I see just fireflies?

Luminescent creature
My thoughts are in the sky
Effervescent dreamer
Why do I even try
To understand fireflies?

The embers of your life they burn so brightly
I look deep inside, down into your precious soul
Your desire fills me with drive to carry on
But how long will you burn alive?

Luminescent creature
My thoughts are in the sky
Overbearing wisher
Why do I even try
To understand fireflies?
