Firefly

Wait, wait for me By the old house adorned in leaves Flowers, foliage in the foreground Light posts, power lines draping Light around escaping Firefly hum surrounding My only company White noise of electric engine Intertwining with them Bus on the corner braking Does it carry you on it Will you meet me after all On the sidewall by the bench In which be used to talk Tell of all our thoughts Foot steps were foreign A stranger walked off Not who I waited for I keep checking my watch Maybe soon I'll stop I smell a hint of smoke My fire is dying out The firefly in my heart Dimming at each thought Of thinking you're arriving And realizing that you're not The bus will soon stop running And all my light will shut off Cars will stop running Their engines will shut off The light in the house Will soon stop working They'll soon leave They'll soon leave Without a thought The fireflies will go quiet The fireflies will go quiet In solemn silence Solemn silence Mourning me, they'll stop waiting
