In every life I will be your firefly

If your days lack warmth - and your nights grow cold
If you lose all hope - from your fate untold

May my life be short - like a firefly's light
My spirit reborn - with all of love’s might

And if ever your world - swam in endless grey
Then go watch the storm - look past that dismay

There beneath the clouds - those fireflies’ ember
There, that was me - do you still remember?

And if ever again - your world turns to dust
In every fleeting life - I will never lose touch

Hesitate will I not - to tear myself apart
To mend your deepest wounds - I will give all of my heart

Inspired by: If your world had no warm sun - Neo Hou

This is amazing! Maybe fine-tune some metaphors and add punctuation?
