Starlight Matis Poet Rhyme

Firefly

Last night I woke up with the dread on my temples and that odd haze in my head
"This'll be over one day, once we're all dead."
But I can't die
firefly
living forever more in the sunlit sky

You can't strip away the wings you gave to a man.
"Just take that release, just take the reaper's hand."
But I can't die
firefly
living forever more in the sunlit sky

I'll be breathing in the end. Someday I won't, but I know I will this time.
"You need to let go, let the death bells chime."
But I can't die
firefly
living forever more in the sunlit sky
