Firef'Lies

My room is filled with fireflies 

I like to watch them shine

They make my night brighter

I enjoy the sight of the way the climb the walls

Pretending to see luminescent waterfalls

In the mornings i open the window so they can get some air

I know they understand me as we express the same despair

Only seen when wanted to be only imagined as something else

But for what reason must it be i wish I could barrow their wings

And they could fly away with me

In the night they wander back so they can fill my empty room

Unlike the fireflies I can never be seen as majestic waterfalls

All I can be is empty in my mind and behind glowing morbid walls
